Alien at the Movies

Amazon Queen

When 2 robbers get double crossed in a big heist, they track their stolen loot to deep in the Amazon rainforest. So they board an tourist excursion boat pretending to be taking the tour but are planning to hijack boat. This is a weak plotline that attempts to lure viewers in with a title implying a possible adventure similar to the “African Queen” movie except the boat isn’t even named the Queen nor is there any queen in the movie. In fact, the movie is a better educational travelogue than a crime drama. There is nothing special here in this low budget project that feels like an ordinary made for tv drama. It’s predictable characters in a predictable plot.

Alien gives it 1½ “Toucano” stars out of 4.
