The one star rating is meaningless – I had to give the film some rating to submit the review.
This film may be wonderful. I wouldn’t know. I do my best not to buy or watch work from rabid racist anti-semites. I haven’t seen Triumph of the Will or Olypiad. Most likely am missing some very important visual art. And I most likely have bought, used and seen all sorts of work by people who were/are racists.Just try my best not to support such people. There are enough film and other masterpieces out there that I will never have time to experience them all. I will never have the time – after all, starting all the wars – and he meant it – is a rather considerable undertaking.
Rating: 1 / 5

I was actually excited about this movie from the previews. I thought it was going to show the chain of events that led to the downfall of the Mayan civilization. Instead, it was a movie that followed one guy for pretty much one day.
There were no twists or surprises, pretty much every “twist and turn” was exactly what you would have expected, and the big surprise ending was lame and didn’t really fit into any of it. However, if the ending was the beginning and it went from there, might have been a good movie.
The makeup was horrible, it basically looked like like someone held a stick to a person’s nose using play dough and called it makeup.
I will admit there were some moments in the film where I laughed, but I was later told it was very inappropriate of me. Oh yeah, on another note, lots of men without pants on. Not exactly the highlight of the film.
In all honestly, the most entertaining part of the film was the credits when I saw one of the people’s real name is Birdyellowhead.

He obviously gets off on carnage. This pointless and grossly historically distorting, chauvinistic flick is another proof of it. I gave it one star for some beautiful scenery.

Do not waste one penny of your money or one minute of your life on this sickening, psychotic, repulsive piece of garbage! Spend your money on ANYTHING ELSE & you will be better off. Who, other than Mel Gibson, or the next Jeffrey Dahmer could watch this & find it entertaining?
