Leave your thoughts about The Mosquito Coast.
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenFord dials up the smarm of Han Solo and the hubris of Indiana Jones to portray a man who’s just smart, capable, and charming enough to be dangerous—to himself, his family, and the villagers. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeMeandering film that doesn't really seem to know where it's going or what it is. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheila BensonIt is hard to believe that a film as beautiful as The Mosquito Coast [adapted from the novel by Paul Theroux] can also be so bleak, but therein lies its power and undoing. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioThe Mosquito Coast is the only movie you'll see this season that has too much ambition for its own good - its subject, really, is nothing less than the American experience. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyAs a persona of epic polarities, [Harrison Ford] animates this muddled, metaphysical journey into the jungle. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumA stretch for Ford, but worth it. Unique and fascinating character study. |
| Chicago ReaderPat GrahamPeter Weir's 1986 adaptation of Paul Theroux's best-selling novel is literally that - an adaptation without much character of its own. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie has been directed and acted so well, in fact, that almost all my questions have to do with the script: Why was the hero made so uncompromisingly hateful? |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottIn spite of its authentic scenery (it was filmed in Belize), this Mosquito Coast is utterly flat. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittWhat keeps The Mosquito Coast from being a great movie is too much caution. |
