How sad is this?
... View MoreYo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
... View MoreThis is the worse episode ever. Very disappointing.
... View MoreBoys are showing how hard is to transport goods in Africa even 200 mi from shore. They want to say do not sent food to people in Africa, built them roads and they will do it them selves. This is a perspective which you will not see anywhere else. There is no luxury or even new cars in video.
... View More"Cure World Hunger" was their tag. Sounds like a noble ideal. Sadly, it was downhill from there.To be honest, after the first ten minutes as they had set out how they were going to transport fish from the coast 200 miles to the hungry, starving people I fast forwarded. Stopping several times in between. But it was what we'd already seen the trio doing so many times before.In the end they were trying to sell rotten fish before flying out in a helicopter. Isn't that just crass?This is the season where GT should have excelled after finding their feet with the first one. Alas, there was so few good articles. Is the problem they've abused so many press-cars that no manufacturer will let them have access any more? Surely with the Amazon budget they could just buy the cars they're about to trash instead?Not worth keeping your Amazon Prime membership for.
... View MoreI can see why the rating of this episode is so low. It's not because the episode itself is bad, it's a very typical "special" episode, feels much like old Top Gear special episodes, it's all in one piece, no guests, reviews or studio scenes. In fact it's the most "Top Geary" of all TGT episodes so far in terms of how it was filmed and how it felt to watch. What is bad is the fact that they approach a topic of a country being incredibly poor and people in it starving with an overly silly approach, almost mocking the misfortune of the people indirectly, because they've wasted enough food to feed a 50 people during this episode. It also contains multiple scenes of what some people might consider to be "fish abuse", if you like. Of course, catching fish, killing it, eating it, etc. is a part of nature, as harsh as it may be, especially in parts of the world where people are desperately trying to survive, so expecting a "humane" approach from them is less than realistic. Overall it's a pretty good episode, as long as you approach it knowing that it's going to have things in it that some people might find offensive or repulsive, consider it a more serious episode, a sort of mockocumentary dealing with problems of poverty, lack of food, lack of infrastructure, etc.
