lightning strikes twice

This exposition of family and tribal life before western colonisation of Central America is brutal and brilliant.  The cinematography and the bare story line are more than enough for an engaging and gripping two hours at the cinema.

Quickly, the story follows a young warrior and his attempts to get back and save his family after their life is turned upside down by marauding invaders from the city.

I doubt I’ll ever watch it again, but I was certainly engrossed by it.  I’d like to see The Passion of The Christ now too.
