REVIEW
Although ladened with a poor script, unprofessional acting and muddled politics, this lively story of the power of the Rastafarian is still good entertainment. A peaceful Rastafarian fisherman (Keller) rescues two Americans from a plane crash. But instead of simple thanks, he is thrown into a caldron of political intrigue which forces him to flee into the lush Jamaican jungle. It is there that he attains supernatural powers and is able to battle the elements and foe alike. The film is highlighted with a sampler-style reggae soundtrack featuring the music of Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, Scratch Perry, Aswad and Steel Pulse. You Might Also Like
