This Movie is exactly what you think it is, Although there was actually a plot. If you like Sam Jackson in Formula 51, then you should see his. The snakes CAN be a little over the top.

Jackson for his part seemed to have plenty of fun but there's nothing particularly memora…

Ridiculous premise, perfect execution For a premise this bonkers the movie ought not work, and yet it does. It is highly over the top, but it just works. The casting, acting, direction and production works really well, to give a fantastic product in the end. Sure, the movie has aged, and some of its special effects have aged, but they are grand for their time, and hold up pretty well, I think. I highly recomme…
