 FIRE ON THE AMAZON
(New Concorde) DVD. 1993. AKA: "Lost Paradise”.
Action/thriller. Approx. 85 minutes. NR, violence. RJ O’Brien (Craig
Sheffer), a photojournalist
from the States, visits a South American village that is being ravished by
lumber company. While down there, the leader of an environmental group is
brutally murdered and Joe decides to do a little snooping around. While
snooping, he is thrown in jail with a man who is later accused of the
murder. After Joe is released, the accused man is found dead by means of
suicide. Joe, knowing that all this is a sham, hooks up with fellow
environmentalist Alyssa Rothschild (Sandra Bullock) in hopes of finding
the truth.
There are only two real reasons to watch this
dull movie. One, the executive producer is Roger Cormen. Two, Sandra
Bullock has a pretty steamy sex scene with Sheffer. Bullock is very stingy
when it comes to showing skin now a days, but this was very early in her
career. The scene is 50 minutes into the movie and lasts for about 4
minutes. She is completely naked, but you really do not see anything
because of the shooting angels and other obstructions. There are a number
of nice side views though. The movie itself is pretty boring. The only
difference between the R version and the Unrated version is about four
seconds and one quick sex position. Again, you see two naked bodies
without seeing any “special areas.” If you like Ms. Bullock, you’ll
want to see this one. I just love finding these little lost flics of
today’s stars! - Denis Sheehan
