Action/adventure set among the Maya just before the invasion by the Spanish in 1519. Extremely violent film which felt like an attempt to depict a violent society rather than anything gratuitous. Told in three chapters...a traditional form which worked very well. The last chapter was a 45 minute harrowing chase sequence...a exciting as the last chapter of Aliens.
This was engaging and seemed like an honest attempt to give us a window into a world and a time which has been long forgotten. Nice job.
