Forest plays fat cannibal wearing kilt. Cool.

Rating: 4/10 (19 July 2007)

Just kidding. But really, this is another one of those flicks that has (A) almost no likable characters and (B) plot snafus/ characters continually doing really dumb stuff. Now, I haven't read the book, and I do not know how much of this is actually true. But, 98% of Garrigan's actions are either (A) just plain stupid or (B) totally unbelievable. You tell me. Either way, that is a big hurdle for a fat guy in a kilt to leap. So, lets see. I go to Africa. I treat a guy for syphilis. I then proceed to sleep with the same women he sleeps with! Oh by the way, the guy is a psychopathic killer. What?!?!? How stupid is Garrigan supposed to be? As for plot snafus, I think the editing just stunk. For example, just after Garrigan gets it on with Kay, every runs around saying "Amin wants everyone down by the lake ... Hurry up." So, everyone runs to the lake & Amin is playing a tune, and ... nothing happens. Did I fall asleep? What was that? Did they edit out a scene and forget to edit out the one leading up to the one they edited out? That is not the only such instance, but why bother ... it is only a 4.
