Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

mnoutside This movie really captures the feeling of itinerary free travel. I tried to watch it again on Netflix but they had removed it from streaming video's so I bought the DVD. I will put this in my library at our camp on Lake Kabetogama-lakekabetogama.org Travel in Mexico and Central America with great scenery, the Darién Gap, a large swath of undeveloped swampland and forest separating Panama's Darién Province in Central America from Colombia in South America is a route I've always wanted to travel with my Jeep Cherokee, but since I'll never make the trip I guess this is as close as I'll get. Efforts have been made for decades to remedy this missing link, The Gap in the Pan-American highway. Planning began in 1971 with the help of United States funding, but this was halted in 1974 after concerns raised by environmentalists. Another effort to build the road began in 1992, but by 1994 a United Nations agency reported that it would cause extensive environmental damage. The claim is there is evidence that the Darién Gap has prevented the spread of diseased cattle into Central and North America, which have not seen foot and mouth disease since 1954, and since at least the 1970s this has been a substantial factor in preventing a road link through the Darién Gap. Great movie!

drfugawe I love travel, I love travel books and movies - this movie left me totally empty with disappointment at the end, which is significant, given that I was emotionally primed for acceptance. It simply fails on so many levels.I think it deserves 3 stars for cinematography, but that's about it - one would think that the project crew should have been encouraged to rise to the level of the cinematography, but no. The screen writing has little continuity or meaningful base, and the directing displays no maturity - One envisions a long series of one-take scenes! The viewer is expected to believe that a gang of inexperienced trekkers is going to be able to slice through some of the world's most impenetrable terrain without incident - and cut a road in the process! Please. And someone should have given the gang a quick lesson in how one 'holds' a machete, much less how to use it properly - additionally, if this film is actually shot on location, why didn't they make the jungle environment of The Darien look difficult? Most of the shots of jungle terrain look more like a Florida backyard than impenetrable jungle - stuff like this takes the pleasure of viewing away quickly.I note that a large number of reviewers here on IMDb saw this movie at one of the minor movie festivals in the U.S., and that their reviews are generally very favorable. I can only assume that these festivals -for the most part- show only minor independent films, among which films such as this compare very well - and surely the hype surrounding such a festival's best offerings must be significant! How else would you explain such generous praise for such a weak piece? This one deserves to be better - it's a shame it isn't.

NvONEdia This movie was beautiful. We spend most of our lives working to retire. imagine if we need not have to worry about money. That's what captured me in this movie. Rather than show a story of a person that gets married and lives the "American Dream", we see a story about a person who gives that dream up, to live their own life, and he is taken all across the world. Imagine what stories he will have to tell his children, or his followers. The truly inspired live a life like this. I can see why he decided NOT to go with his loved one, he would be giving up the one true thing that made him happy. I hope anyone that watches this movie sees that beauty.

slake09 A young man ditches his wedding, for good reasons, and begins traveling far from home, meeting people and having adventures of every kind along the way.Filmed in different locations around the world, this adventure/romance follows the travels of a young man experiencing life away from home for the first time. The people he meets tend to be other adventurous travelers like himself, who introduce him to new places to go and things to do.There is some good humor in the movie, along with unexpected situations, excellent scenery and pretty good acting. This isn't going to change your life, but it's the kind of film you'll remember fondly and recommend to friends. If you've done a little traveling yourself, you'll recognize the type of people being portrayed.
