Customer Reviews of Anaconda
Entertaining B-movie schlock. When critiquing a movie like "Anaconda", it is important to remember that you must not judge it so seriously. It is primarily what it is: a fluff piece of Saturday night popcorn-eating cinema, a grand waste of time not without some redeemable points. The story centers around a sociologist (Eric Stoltz) who plans an expedition down the Amazon River in South America in search of the fabled Shirishama tribe; he collaborates with long-time associate Jennifer Lopez, and a cast of others who are there to film the voyage. On the way, the crew pick up Paul Cerrone (Jon Voight), who is stranded in the middle of the raging river during a storm. Once aboard, Cerrone becomes an ominous presence; things seem to be taking a turn for the worse when a humongous anaconda (a sort of predatory snake) makes itself known, and the expedition becomes a personal crusade by Cerrone to apprehend the beast...alive! The effects are serviceable, but are not going to blow you away. The acting is really much better, but Voight as the villanous Cerrone really climbs up the ham meter with his constant toothy leers. Ice Cube and Jonathan Hyde are humorous supporting cast members, the former a streetwise camera operator, the latter the smarmy English narrator. If anything, Lopez and Kari Wuhrer (late of MTV's former gameshow "Remote Control") are nice to look at. Sure, "Anaconda" is formulaic horror fare, but it is one of those cheesy movies you love to watch when you have nothing better to do. Much of the film was shot on location, and the Amazonian scenery is pleasant to watch.
Voigt Carries the Film
When I watched Anaconda I was surprised that it was better than I expected. Part of the reason for that was the performance given by John Voigt.
A film crew is traveling the Amazon in search of the elusive People of the Mist. On the way the rescue Voigt from a stranded ship. Voigt is a snake catcher and claims he knows where the People of the Mist can be found. In reality he is trying to lead them into anaconda territory where he hopes to catch a live specimen and make a fortune. Finally the truth comes out, as do the snakes and it becomes a battle between man and beast as well as between man and man. In the end the survivors prepare to return to their ruined careers when they stumble across the People of the Mist.
John Voigt gave an excellent performance as a Paraguayan snake catcher (Paraguayan so as no one can tell if the accent is right). John shows off a physique that shows why he was chosen to play gigolos and boxers. I did not care too much for the black cameraman. He seemed to be one great big stereotype, so city bred he can't believe that fish live in water. The only other flaw with the film is the way the snake moves. Anacondas are strong but they can not support their entire weight on the tip of their tail. It also moved faster than a striking rattlesnake. Oh well, I still really enjoyed the movie.
