Worth watching

It is very difficult for anyone to describe this item inspired from George Arnaud, the author of LE SALAIRE DE LA PEUR, another French adventure yarn taking place in Latin America. It is rather rough, tough, gritty, with a good character study, as in the George Clouzot's masterpiece, but of course at a lesser scale. There is also something of Joseph Conrad's atmosphere and an APOCALYPSE NOW small tribute in some sequences. Good performance from Gerald Laroche - who often works with Xavier Durringer - and Eric Savin, and also some other actors also used to work with the director. Good underrated job made for TV. Could have made it for the big screen I guess. There were a couple of French adventure modern features in the recent past, such as GUYANE series or 600 KILOS D'OR PUR.
