Orion Gallagher 78 long minutes of something along the lines of an after school movie about the plight of the rain forest. Sort of. An after school movie may have been better.The only thing redeeming about this movie is the pg rated sex scene with Sandra Bullock. Sort of. This scene must be the fire mentioned in the title, but it was just smoke. Not smoke in a good way.Nothing else was redeeming. The stereo types weren't redeeming. The over the top bad 'acting' wasn't redeeming. The sad commentary about the awful plight of the rain forest wasn't redeeming. This is 78 minutes I'll never get back. Never ever ever.Did I mention the pg rated sex scene with Sandra?

ihappylady I put this movie on my Blockbuster list without reading the synopsis or reviews. I figured Sandra Bullock, it has to be good right? NOT! Not even close to good, not even close to mediocre. After watching for 10 full minutes I decided to pull out my computer and actually read some reviews. I figured maybe I was missing something...nope. I'm not going to get into the acting, cinematography, coloring etc because everyone else said it so well.... it's awful.I did read that Ms Bullock did her one and only love scene so I took some advice and fast forwarded to that. Uh....one of the worst love scenes I've ever seen. Neither of them opens theirs eyes once...probably for good reason...it's not sexy, it's creepy. It's called Jungle Fever" in the scene selection menu..go figure. After watching that mess I jumped to the end because well I hate watching a movie and not knowing the end. POSSIBLE SPOILER...I cannot even say the end saddened me. Thankfully Sandra Bullocks career was not "as dead" by this sore mistake in judgment.

shanleydillman Good God, how did a talented young actress get involved in such a bad film? Sandra Bullock starts out in this otherwise bad film in a good light. Then her character takes a quick turn for the worst. And Craig Sheffer certainly convinced me that he was an uncaring, aloof writer. But his character also went from bad to worse in a quick turn of events. Somehow, after a night of binging in some of the local pharmaceuticals and a very rank nude scene with Sandra, he is a new man.In all seriousness, don't rent this film. You might as well fall asleep on the couch with a good book. Sandra is such a great talent, but that can't turn a poorly written, poorly directed film into a good one. And she uses so little of it in this flick. It reminds me of the last big scene in Speed 2, where you wish the boat would just crash already, so you can return the DVD to the rental place.The Spoiler: Sandra Bullock who shows very little of her talent in this film caps it off with a very lousy death scene at the end. Lucky for her, her career didn't die at that moment as well.

Arandhil Such a wonderful collection of clichés and bad acting you really have to search long and hard to find. Set in the jungle one might at least expect some good cinematography, some stunning nature shots...but no.Craig Sheffer is among the worst I have seen in his role as an idiot American journalist. I don't know what weekend course in acting he has taken, because much more than that it can't be.Sandra is wonderfully beautiful as usual and as supposed to most other in this movie she actually can act. Thanks to her and of course the fabulous nude scene makes the movie worth watching, if you like Sandra that is. If you don't, for some inexplicable reason, then stay clear from this movie.Rating 2/10 (Sandra 10/10)
