Not a bad effort at all!.

I didn't have any particular expectations when buying this film for 3 pound in Asda but I have been pleasantly surprised with the effort and talent that has been put in to what is obviously are pretty low budget film. Firstly the locations were great considering it was Wales substituting for the South American jungles and real effort has been made with the dialogue and characters. The story is a little bit straight and predictable but I will certainly watch out for the careers of a few of the actors and makers as I'm sure they will go places

Agreed, it was better than I expected.

So far -- 1/4 through watching -- I don't like it. It's pretty boring & lame, but not a big deal because I'm watching it at home, where I have a 4-screen setup.

I'm watching it for free, rather than your 3 pounds, which is about US$4.5.

I had no idea what Asda is, but looked it up. Seems similar to a Safeway, which you might not be familiar with. Almost ironically, Asad is owned by those in the US. It goes the other way too (ie BP, which bought a major US oil producer). No big deal, whatever.

Shot in Wales; I'll be damned. Hahaha. Surprising that could be pulled off. I had not yet seen that on IMDB.
