The scenery brings out the visuals of the tribe's surroundings and area that they live in.The director made sure to place certain colors of the mood in the film as well. The film is fast-pace and never brings a boring or slow spot to the film. The best part of the film is the character called "The Warrior"....this guy needs to be in more films. His scenes are...
