Colombian drama (with thriller elements) is strong on visual style and raw cinematic power. Eight child soldiers guard a hostage and a cow in the remote wilderness, but excitable teenagers and high-powered semi-automatic weapons are never an advisable mix, and the relationships within the group begin to deteriorate...

Don't get too hung up on the thriller angle, for while there is a degree of running around with guns and some shooting, this is much stronger on atmosphere and understated characterisation. The film obviously owes a debt to Lord of the Flies (the appearance of a pig's head on a stick at one point is an acknowledgement of this) but the movie is more oblique and less focused than that. Clearly heartfelt, with a striking soundtrack and some breathtaking moments of visual style; a memorable experience even if it's not a particularly comfortable one.

"A gloriously ludicrous slice of 1980s cinematic fromage. Between the infectious Queen soundtrack, eye-popping Technicolor special effects, super hot Italian space princess, outrageous production and costume design, a deranged Max von Sydow spitting eminently quotable lines, and a leading man whose principle qualification was being a Playgirl centerfold, this movie had it all. I must’ve watched it fifty times when I was a kid. It was on a near-constant loop in our living room Betamax. One of the great many things I love about being a father is sharing my beloved childhood experiences with my kids. I was so giddily excited to watch this movie with my children when they were old enough. I couldn’t wait. They turned it off halfway through. I spent the next twenty minutes trying to convince them how awesome it was. They weren’t having it. My kids have terrible taste."

I really liked this film. Not only the detail and the soundtrack, but the characters and the magic that just bleeds off the screen. I think Forest Whitaker was great, as always, and I loved the Madalen Mills - she was definitely the best part. She brought a liveliness to the film that I don't think could've been achieved without her.

I thought Ricky Martin playing Don Juan Diego was so funny and I would remember every once in awhile throughout the film and it would just make me laugh more and more.

I think the animation of this film is incredible. The backstory makes it all the more special. This film was a long time coming - so many years were poured into it to bring it to the screen and the care and detail shows through the whole movie. This one is a special one.
