Something went wrong
Try again later.
An English U.N. negotiator (David Thewlis) becomes stranded in the tropics with a mad scientist (Marlon Brando) who makes half-human beasts. Well, as usual, something goes wrong and the negotiator must try to stop it before it is too late.

Amazingly, Kilmer delivers an odder performance than Brando. Creepy retelling.

It's not to say there's not a lot wrong with the film, but rather to suggest that the chief criticisms of it being strange and "a mess" aren't among them.

Muddled effort.

The movie keeps switching focus without ever getting its bearings, and when Brando exits earlier than expected, there's little but mayhem to fall back on.

An often fascinating mess, but a mess all the same.

I'm sure it looked good on paper. That and Kilmer's frighteningly apt mimicry of Brando's voice are about the only positive things I can say.

Uneven; definitely has its moments.

The most exciting characters are killed off too early, and what we're left with is a Satan's "Seasme Street."

In its final third, the movie goes to hell in more ways than Frankenheimer intended.

Roughly akin to watching a slow-motion train wreck in which the flames spread into the brush and become an out-of-control wildfire. What the hell happened?

There's the obese Brando pretending to be God while dressed in gauzy white robes like a demented pope
