An American documentary production crew is terrorized by a gigantic snake down the Amazon in this disastrously bad "thriller" featuring the career-killing turns of Eric Stoltz, Jennifer Lopez and Jon Voight. The plot is sutured together with packing tape, and the snakes look terrible—sort of like some of the scenes of "Roger Rabbit" when Bob Hoskins forgets he's in the room with a cartoon. Only Ice Cube escapes unscathed from this pathetic charade; somebody give the man a decent movie, yo!
