A good movie

Ever since I saw 'Little Odessa' and really loved the damned thing, I have been faithfully following James Gray but, to be honest, I alway had a hard time to really care about all the movies he made afterwards. This movie was unfortunately another example. I mean, like his previous directing efforts, it was well directed, visually really appealing and, once again, he got some really strong performances from his actors , especially from Charlie Hunnam who probably gave his best performance so far. And, yet, the whole thing turned out to be a decent watch but not much more than that, I'm afraid. I guess the failure of this movie was probably the fact that I never shared the obsession displayed by Percy Fawcett. To be honest, I thought it was rather difficult to take him seriously when the only proof he had was some story told by one single Indian and a few artifacts he found during his first trip. I didn't help either that after such amazing movies dealing with a similar subject like 'Aguirre' or the recent 'El abrazo de la serpiente', you would have to come up with something really strong to really impress me but this movie felt rather short. To conclude, even though it didn't really blow me away, it was still a decent movie and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
