In the jungle the Connery snarls tonight

Medicine Man (1992)

Directed by John McTiernan this film stars Sean Connery, Lorraine Bracco and Jose Walker. A female biochemist is sent into the Amazon rainforest to find a reclusive and eccentric scientist.

Nothing about this film is very subtle and it is a classic example of what you might call 90s cheese. The plot largely consists of the two main characters shouting at each other with an after thought of preserving the rainforest as we do not know what we might lose. Lorraine Bracco did not win any plaudits for her performance in this film and at times her accent seems to stretch to almost a parody of a New York accent it gets so thick.


2/5
