Review of The Emerald Forest (1985) by Brad S — 10 May 2015

I grew up watching this film and it made an indelible mark on me as a child. Its pro-nature message, combined with the mystery and suspense, made it an unforgettable experience. Surprisingly, years later, it still totally holds up.

Plenty of excitement, character drama and best of all there isn't a false note. Perhaps because it's based off a true story. Remarkably, this movie was tapping into a relevant social concern that would become tenfold in years to come.

Who would have thought something starring the memorably odd Powers Boothe would mean so much.
