Why is Mauricio Amuy Tenorio listed as "starring" when he is not in the film's end credits or in IMDb? According to my research and checking with Mel Gibson's company he was just a local extra used for one day in the film's trailer.

A difficult film to rate. On the one hand, Gibson's meticulous attempt to recreate 16th century Central or South America - complete with indiginous languages - is impressive. Seeing the stepped pyramids come to life, and seeing the infamous sacrifices in high-definition offer a new dimension to our picture of "history." There are some pretty decent action and chase scenes, too. But overall, the film leaves you wondering whether the story really needed 2:18 to tell. Not a lot happened and there are some sequences which I suspect have more to do with Gibson showing off some cinematography than with plot.

Despite the fact that we are not completely certain of the degree of the violence of Mayan society , it doest matter. Man is violent animal , always was and always will be. This film tells a tale of human struggle and it does it well with great acting, great sound, great visuals and great action. I will admit that the wife and child in the pit was overdone but no film is perfect. It is so refreshing to not know any of the actors (see ONCE WERE WARRIORS). To all you historical skeptics start reading between the lines and try to be aware of the big picture.

I thought the History books said that the Mayans were an advanced civilization as opposed to a bunch of brutal bloodthirsty savages. No? This movie sure does try quite hard to shock and excite you but I don't think it works out on that front. However, visually, the movie is a real feast for the eyes. Mel Gibson is a hell of a filmmaker in that regard. It's really too bad that Mel Gibson got so much bad press for his personal life and remarksbecause he's quite gifted behind a camera lens. This movie really needed to be seen on the big screen to be fully appreciated. It just doesn't translate well to your home television. It really succeeds in making you feel that you are there.

Mel Gibson is quickly becoming one of my favourite directors. His films are simply beautiful. I know some will criticize him of trying to make every shot essential to the film, and in some ways they are right. Where some would say this is over the top, for me, this is what does it. I love his movies because they are an experience. You don't just watch his movies, you enter them. This tale is no different. Amazing!

It's a wonderful film, its first time talking about the original people of America, we didn't know a lot about this historical period and iI think that Gibson take a risk to make a such film, and it was just great.

Mel Gibson just made a great movie. This movie will grip you tightly and make you question what is important in life and what matters most. I think the scenery was one of the best pasts, especially around the temples. Costume and makeup were excellent as well. I hope Mel continues down the road of making movies that other directors probably aren't willing to try. If you're fine with subtitled movies you should enjoy this one!
