The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Prepare to get tangled in the jungles of Belize when an arms smuggler loses her partner in a deadly shootout and finds herself on the run in the tropics of Central America. Helen is an amateur, making her money as an illegal arms trader to Central American terrorists. And as she runs for her life after the deal goes bad, she has no choice but to trusts Jeff, a British Intelligence Agent - it is a life and death chase, where passion and loyalty are easily confused...That is a really long plot summary, but maybe that will help convince you to see this one. While nothing amazing, and not the sort of film I would typically watch... it has that 1980s action thing going on. Okay, not much (the action is pretty mild for Latin American terrorists) -- but enough.This is one of the first things director Michael Kennedy ever did. And, despite a score or more of films under his belt, none jump out as anything you have ever heard of. He did nine episodes of "The Kids in the Hall", but whether or not these were good episodes is beyond me.I would definitely give this another chance, especially if Shout Factory were to pick it up and turn it into something a little extra special.

Among other mis-wrought contrivances in this horribly-designed film was the mid-script change in the female lead from Rosanna Arquette to Kara Glover (what? you didn't notice that?). I love John Savage and Stephen McHattie (have for years) but they're the only +s in this 'minus' film. In addition, there were many (too many) technical flaws from the outset and throughout this movie, including badly-contrived love scenes (mostly non-existent), extremely poor camera work and editing, poor script management, terrible continuity and timing, extended frames which shouldn't have been extended. The only thing I can recommend is the 'lighting' (nicely done!)

Jessica Martorana's comment below tells you pretty much everything you need to know about "Caribe". I can stand a lot of things in low-budget action films, there is only one characteristic they MUST avoid: being boring. Unfortunately, "Caribe" is very boring. After all, there is only so much walking in the jungle / kayaking in the river one can take before losing interest, no matter how beautiful the locales may be. Stephen McHattie plays a reprehensible enough villain, but the two leads are not very charismatic, although Kara Glover does run / climb / swim / get covered in mud capably. Gore fans may also appreciate a gratuitous heart removal scene. Not a film to seek out. * out of 4.

Well, Caribe may not qualify for a superior action thriller but it does have one good point - The mayan ruins and the tropical beauty of Belize, where 90% of the movie has been shot. The photography is truly outstanding and the scenery is more than enough to watch this movie. And if you can get hold of a new CD or DVD, you'll agree to what I mean.
