End of the Spear, a review by Rich

Through the jungle in Ecuador...



"End of the Spear" is the remarkable journey of a savage Amazon tribesman who becomes family to the son of a North American man he kills. Mincayani (Louie Leonardo) is a Waodani warrior who leads the raid that kills Steve Saint's father and four other missionaries. Through a suspenseful series of events Steve Saint (Chase Ellison) is able to visit Mincayani's tribe. Steve tries to learn which warriors killed his father, but has to leave with his question unanswered. Steve returns to the Waodani as an adult (Chad Allen). Together Mincayani and Steve confront the true meaning of the life and death of Steve's father, and the other men who were killed.

Wow, a wonderful surprise, a thoroughly enjoyable film that kept me riveted to the end, and will entice all. The film is shot from the natives perspective which provides an understanding of why they speared the missionaries, and distances itself enough from religion to keep the film entertaining. Keep watching through the credits to see clips from the actual survivors. 7/10
