I just got home from this movie. It did not live up to its hype, IMO. For all the intensity and gore, I give it a "B/B-."
The props are not that great, that takes away major points. Example: Spoiler: When the heads are being thrown off the pyramid, my initial thought was, "Is that a mannequin head they got from the department store?" Same thing with the bodies outside the corn field, the tapir and the damn jaguar. Those are piss poor props.
The gore is not that bad either. I read the reviews and they say it has a lot of graphic images and all that crap. I braced myself to see some really disgusting stuff but it didn't even come close to what I had in mind. Spoiler: I was expecting a close up shot of the victims' body being cut up and their organs ripped apart when they were being sacrificed.
The main character though, DAMN, what a soldier!!
