After watching the special features, I wanted to watch it agian. To all the haters--This movie was actually filmed in the jungle, and some of the actors came across snakes ect. The scene where he gets... caught, there were poisonious snails in the water. This movie was based completly on that man's diary and interviews. That is why some think that it is boring. Sorry-he didn't write about large explosions and a big war scene in his escape. Full Review

Lubavitch I am not, but since I am ultra-orthodox I respect Lubavitch. This movie is about a Rabbi's wife who commits adultry with first her husbands depraved brother and then with an african american... cashier. I am overwhemed. Full Review
