The story, set in French Guyana, is an exercise in what not to do when making action movies. For starters, the plot is not too credible. Just to think anyone could pull such a robbery in broad light in a highly guarded place, and get away with it, must be either naive to a fault, or someone that realizes his days are numbered. Add to that a trek through a jungle where all kinds of dangers await people bold enough to try it, is a raving maniac.
Director Eric Besnard wanted to make an action film that capitalized on the allure of stealing 600 kilos of gold and getting away with it. Well, just the weight of the precious metal alone would have proved this enterprise impossible, but as thrillers go, the four man and a woman will be able to carry on the caper. The adventurers find out the folly of their enterprise as the jungle takes care to bring them back to reality.
The only known figure for us is Clovis Cornillac, who will not add anything to his film career by appearing in the film. One can only hope the cast and crew had a nice vacation in Cayenne.
