FILMS FROM THE 21st CENTURY

(Post 40 of 50)

Some quick takes on the most relatively recent listings from the
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list

You got to give Mel Gibson some credit, he does make an exciting adventure film here about a culture we don't often see depicted in American films (except maybe in reference to the white man coming) and using the Mayan language no less! I do admit all the booby traps set by the hero of the film to thwart his pursuers did make me think we were seeing a more deadly and Mayan version of Home Alone, but there you have it.
