Apocolypto

Warning, this movie is so violent, I literally got nauseous at points while viewing it. That said and I must say that Mel Gibson has again shown his talent at directing. The subtitles were not distracting in the least and I thought he used them sparingly so as to let the story and actors tell the story through action and body language. This was a powerful movie about the fall of the Mayan kingdom and one man's journey during this decline. The man is Jaguar Paw played by Rudy Youngblood and he is a wonderful actor. Very violent but well-made movie and a thumbs up.
