I knew they just found one in the forests of Peru with satellite software. Anachronism in language and behavior... Shame that they miss a great occasion to do something espectacular. His plan to go straight falls apart when he meets his corrupt uncle for a job and later an old friend working there. Unfortunately the script was dire and the acting was so awkward and cringeworthy i thought of leaving the cinema (which i've never done) there were times where the film felt like a satire, the main character played by charlie hunnam was paper thin and had no believable or relateable character traits that made you care about his struggle. 69 out of 130 found this helpful

What a let down , this should have been a throwback to the the classic Hollywood epics of the past. I really enjoyed this movie.

After about an hour and a half I was left wondering how so many critics found this movie watchable, desperately trying not to fall asleep.
