Sixteen-year-old Finn (Yelchin) was
supposed to spending the summer with his anthropologist father, whom he has
never met, and a tribe called the Fierce People in the deepest jungles of South
America. Due to circumstances involving his mother Liz’s (Lane) drug and
alcohol abuse, he spends it with Liz’s friend filthy rich friend Ogden
(Sutherland) and the filthy rich Fierce People of New Jersey.
So far, I’m not impressed but IMDb primises
us that half-way through the film something dramatic and bad happens.
I’m waiting.
OK, that’s dramatic. And bad.
But what’s the point of this film? That
rich people can be perverted and really bad? Yeah, we know. That American
tribes are less civilised than so-called primitive tribes? Yeah, we know.
Young Yelchin is good, young Stewart
shows potential, Lane and Sutherland are old pros, but I don’t like the film.
