[Director] Hanon seems more interested in exploiting his setting's lush green beauty than exploring the psyches of his bland Bible-thumpers.

Although the film invests time among the tribesmen, it never really explores the idea that one man's missionary work is another's ideological aggression. And the movie is tentative, dramatically speaking.

Too bad this sincere but inept movie doesn't do justice to any of the real people whose powerful story it tells.
January 20, 2006 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review… -
This is a movie -- albeit one with a great, gripping story -- shot through with meaningful glances, middling performances and melodramatic music cues. Pity.
January 20, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 -
What does hold back this terrifically detailed and often-entertaining effort are the limitations of the script and uneven acting.
