Academy Award(R)-winning star Sean Connery (Best Supporting Actor, 1987 -- THE UNTOUCHABLES), reunites with action director John McTiernan (THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, DIE HARD) for another powerful collaboration in the heroic box office smash MEDICINE MAN! Screen favorite Connery plays Dr. Robert Campbell, a brilliant but unorthodox scientist racing against time in his bold research for a cure against cancer. Set deep in the forbidding Amazon rain forest, this action-packed hit follows Campbell hot on the trail of an amazing discovery -- but the eccentric recluse soon finds himself caught in the midst of an explosive adventure! Also starring Oscar(R)-nominee Lorraine Bracco (Best Supporting Actress, 1990 -- GOODFELLAS), MEDICINE MAN delivers unmatched entertainment with its spectacular mix of breathtaking scenery, captivating performances, and thrilling, nonstop excitement!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Sean Connery at his finest.
Comment: This is a well done film as it is both entertaining and informative. Connery is as always the consummate actor. Ms .Bracco is superb in her role. It is a top notch film and should be seen by all. I now wonder what wonders of science are being destroyed every day in that rain forest. You can not believe what the scenery looks like and how we are destroying so rapidly.

Summary: Overwhelming Scenery, especially on big screens!
Comment: a wonderful movie, every time we watch it, the scenery of the rain forest is breathtaking, the dialogues funny, the topic serious. A rare piece of a film. Maybe because the topic of burning down our forests is not very profitable for the economic world...

Summary: Medicine Man
Comment: "Medicine Man" is, in my personal opinion, an entertaining, funny movie with a real life message about conserving our natural resources. This movie focuses on plants and animals and all of their posibiities for unknown uses, including medical cures that undiscovered and non-studied plants and animals possess. As an example, just recently the venom of the Gila Monster, Heloderma suspectum, has been found to be of great use in treating Type One adult diabetes and possibly some cancers. We as a race, are just scratching the surface of what these remarkable flora and fauna have to offer the human race and this movie depicts the same and the risks of the loss of it all, due to greed and ignorance.

Summary: Good Movie for Sean Connery fans
Comment: yes, originally I bought this VHS tape because of Sean Connery. But it's also a good look at the Rain Forest and it's exploitation. Great plot, great acting and the natives are wonderfully entertaining and wise in their ways. The scenery is amazing!
A bit about the plot...Lorraine Bracco is a scientist sent to check up on Sean Connery who has been working there for years but they haven't heard of any progress, but has requested more equipment. But Lorraine was not his first request for an assistant. Little by little Connery and the natives win her over as they work on a promising cure for cancer.

I'm ordering this DVD as we will be moving to Belize in the next few years and will have some rain forest for ourselves. This movie will be just the teaser to keep us going.
