Is it possible this director saw Sean Connery in 1992's, Medicine Man and said I can make a serious drama out of this? Don't get me wrong, the trailer looks appealing and I may venture out to see this film next month, but wondering if anyone else made that immediate comparison?
shareAs soon as I read the synopsis, I immediately thought of Sean Connery and that movie. I quite liked MM (1992), but I doubt that I'll check this one out.

Uh, that whiny Loraine Braco.

The writer/director Ciro Alegria lives in Colombia, so he would have been able to think of making a movie about the Amazon without having seen Medicine Man. MM is good, but this movie is a masterpiece. Don't miss it.
Alegria's earlier film, The Wind Journeys, also has indigenous people of Colombia, though in smaller roles.

I saw a little of "Dead Man" in this, plus a hint of "Apocalypse Now."
