I've had the dvd hanging around since Christmas so after seeing (but not reading) the comments I thought I'd better take a look at it.

I enjoyed its almost "reportage" style though obviously a bit of artistic licence had to be used as well. The mountain patrol were reminiscent of the old "posses" you would often see in Westerns, rough and unruly but since this is based on true events and considering the job they were trying to do, I have no doubt that it's pretty true to life.

The lack of dramatics certainly differentiates this film from a typical adventure film although the patrol did appear to act a little foolhardy at times causing more danger to themselves than the poachers did.

All in all a worthy effort, pointing out not only the desperate need for protection of an endangered species but the sheer effort and will needed to survive in such a harsh landscape.

Definitely worth seeing.

Cheers Trev.

R2 dvd from Columbia Pictures, good picture and sound but a complete lack of extras.
