Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a low-budget film with mostly low budget actors. It is not Academy Award material. It is not intended to be and no one choosing to watch it would think otherwise. It is however, a decently done movie with a cohesive plot, decent writing and acting and an actual story behind it. It drags a little in some places, but is still a lot better than the norm for B-movies. Think Sci-Fi channel with titties in it.The story is not unique, but it is one of the better done of this... genre. Expedition team treks off into the jungle to search for treasure. Bad guys come after them, some of them are killed. There's fighting and shooting and things blowing up, cute girls and an adventure story that makes sense (of a sort). Really, what more do you want?

Okay, everyone has talked about the bad story line, bad direction, not so great acting. What about all the continuity problems??? Just as a single, and one of the most glaring examples: This group of 7 people are white-water rafting (not too white) down this river. A guy from the shore shoots one of the guys in a raft and he and the other 2 guys fall out of the raft. In the next scene, nobody is even remotely upset about their friend getting shot. In fact, there's no discussion of it whatsoever. They're on the side of the river and Robert Patrick is hitting on Chiara Caselli. Can't blame him, but still... Okay, so then we cut to the next scene. Remember, it was 6 living people and 1 dead last we saw. Now, about 10 or 12 of them are walking through the jungle together? How'd the others get there? Drive? If so, why didn't they all drive instead of white-water raft to this place?This was the most ridiculously stupid movie I've seen in a long time.

I want to know how these kinds of films get money. How does an 'Omega Code' or a 'Vivero Letter' make it beyond the script reading process? Basic writing rules are broken here. The acting including Fred Ward's is pure high school. Now, we all know Robert Patrick is NO ACTOR, but usually he's interesting to watch --- but the writers gave him nothing to say and he ain't that pretty or naked. So why? The worst of it is -- this is suppose to be a tresaure hunt, and as a veiwer half the fun is following the heroes as they go through the steps but there are no steps. What we are given is "No don't blow up the temple. Usually there are keystones that open the door. Let me look. Oh, look, here it is" or my personal favorite, "The symbol is the magician, (we are never shown a close up of the 'tray') so that must mean a river with teeth" Just bad. Purely Bad. Bad. So bad ------------------

This movie is the worst movie I've seen."The Vivero Letter" stars Robert Patrick, who gets entangled in a search for gold, after his brother is murdered for something that he may have. Patrick is the only bright spot in this film.This movie is too slow for me but it did not diminish the fact that Patrick is a good actor. He is come to be one of my favorite actors ever since he costarred in "Copland."The plot needs a lot of work because it is just too dull and unoriginal to be considered good. As soon as everyone took off to locate the gold in the forgotten city, I could have turned off the movie knowing how it turned out. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. I guess I like Robert Patrick a lot. I don't suggest this movie to anyone unless you like Robert Patrick.
