Mel Gibson deserves the all time humanitarian award, because if you forget history - YOU WILL REPEAT HISTORY.We all have blood on our hands.

If you can`t face truth in the face, don`t see this film. It tells the true story of how the Mayan civilisation (like many others, including those of Europe at one time) was sophisticated but corrupt. I thought that the contrast was not with Christianity (which does not appear until the end) but with the `noble savages` of the jungle, who were cast as beneficent compared to the Mayans. Very graphic, though. Typical of Gibson`s visceral style and his liking for gore and evil characters--from Mad Max on.

This was a superb film!! The amazing thing is this is an actual depiction of how these people once lived and that nobody else was smart enough to make a movie like it before. 5 stars.

Incredible. Just got back and this movie completely blew me away. The story, the acting, the directing, everything was top notch. A definite 5 star film that will go down in history as a classic. I`m not a fan of Mel Gibson (before or after the "incident") but I have to hand it to him. He knows what he`s doing. Go see this in theatre, you`ll definitely want to see it on the big screen. Two thumbs up!

Brillant! A must see. How can someone even remotely say it`s racially discrimation? Come on! Tribes hunted one another and to this day, we see ethnic cleansings. Over the past decade we have witnessed an increase in genocidal attacks and a global escalation of intolerance and violence. Mass killings, ethnic "cleansings," and assaults on humanity. This movie dipicts what life was accurately like during those times.

Racial descrimination? On the contrary, Mel Gibson shows the world about the wonderful Mayan Culture that once existed! He opens the eyes to people to look into history and realize that the world changes. Movie is a must see!

Great movie! Mel Gibson does it again! He is the best director of this era, someone who knows the public is intelligent enough and deserves more than your typical Hollywood, commercial movie. Must see!

Well done action movie that includes a great chase scene that thankfully does not include a police chase and 50 car crashes.Set in pre Columbus South america and totally done with subtitles.It is a tale one mans fight against a civilization in decline. My only concern was...What point was Mel trying to make?No significant meaning and a movie that nobody will be talking about in a few months at Oscar time. Ending of the movie is rather weak...too convenient for my tastes...

This is a great movie if the audience has an open mind to enjoy the non-typical story set-up. To the person who said this movie was racially discriminating, guess what, Mayan civilization really did have live human sacrafices, those stair temples wernt there just to look pretty, they also ate the bodies not just toss them away like in the movie. 5 Star movie for people with a strong stomach and for people who like something different

non stop over the top violence overshadows the plot
