7/10
B-movie that delivers the goods in entertainment value.

I need to write this review as an offset to the drivel others have posted. LIANE gives the audience more than you'd expect. Much better than "Greystoke" and much better than most 2010 movies where "stupid" reigns supreme.

Of course we expect a sexy blonde with lots of leg; not just for 10- year old boys but for old geezers as well. Not to give the plot away but there are two short scenes taking place in Hamburg, Germany where the legs get covered up by a dress! Ugh!Still, the entire movie is strictly G rated in spirit and content.

Very nice scenes of the African jungle, lots of animals, including the lake where all the flamingos (usec to) flock. Hardy Kruger is the handsome young hero who has to contend not only with Liane but with a pretty cute female doctor who's set her eyes on him.

The thin plot is never boring and will keep the interest of the kind of audience that loves good movies but wouldn't waste 5 minutes on Kick-Ass or Iron Man 2.

LIANE is now in DVD, in color, doubled with another good B movie (about Devil's Island). Recommended.
