What a fantastic film on so many levels!

Sure there is blood but not even a quarter of what is regularly shown in the mind numb Hollywood flicks these days. If anything the bloodletting is tastefully depicted. The realism of violence if you will - is mollified by camera angles and sound...so while you think you see the jaguar eating the man's head - you really don't. And what is so gosh darned bad about depicting what must have been a most brutal time in Maya/Toltec/Aztec history and making a statement about man's inhumanity and how the seeds of destruction are contained in the mayhem and inhumanity of civilization?

Gibson proves that he has mastered his craft and utilizes the artistic skills of cinema masters.

I saw it today with some of my film students and we agree ---superb.

The film reviewer on Fox & Friends, Bill McCuddy, said he's not going to see it and recommends that others don't either because of the violence.
