| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzInteresting only for its mythical pretensions. |
| User ReviewR.John XFlawed but smart and fascinating film by Monte Hellman. It's an odd allegory about freedom and slavery: a "freak" rebels against the world and creates a slave kingdom. Some of the acting is sub-par but the film raises a lot of thoughtful questions. |
| User ReviewLee M"Iguana" is a curious misfire, and perhaps that's the best way to appreciate the film, enjoying the minor bits of behavior it successfully articulates instead of focusing on the creative failures that eventually sink the effort. |
| User ReviewMichael AUn janus au visage lezarde est maltraite par ses equipiers marins mais il parvient a s'enfuir et menera une vengeance sadique et toute personnelle sur une ile deserte. Moonfleetien, crepusculaire, metaphorique de la position qu'occupe Hellman dans le cinema hollywoodien. Un jalon marquant de plus dans la filmo de ce grand realisateur. |
