This is a Fun packed action film in the mode of Indiana Jones, Romancing The stone, but unfortuatley not quite as good. It is enjoyable and keeps you on the edge of your seat during the action sequences. There are a lot of special effects which i found to be unusual with this type of film and there was a lot of use of CGI. The film is set in a fictional South American Country that is involved in a civil war. The lead character is a lady who goes looking for her husband who did not go on the business trip that he was supposed to be on. The film opens at the end of the proceedings and then we are told the story through long flashbacks.The main drawback is that the characters are not credible but on the whole the film is entertaining and the action sequences make up for the poor plot and characterisation.
others, viewers will feel obligated to scream and warn film characters to beware of the disturbing fate they will surely meet.
The acting is of high standard, considering that the majority of characters are teenagers, but the film differs from the usual teen horror flicks such as ‘Scream’ and ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’.
There are some great extras included on the DVD:
Featurette on Premonitions is a twenty-minute interview with Pam Coronado, a lady who possesses psychic abilities and experiences many dreams of events which often become reality soon after, such as aeroplanes crashing and murders. After realising she could help many cases with the information she knew, she became a useful assistant to the police. Her spooky stories entertain and intrigue viewers.
On another section of the DVD, crew ...
While searching for her fiancee deep in the jungles of South America, a young woman uncovers a secret that will not only change her life, but also alter the course of Coronado's future.

DVD Description
An innocuous trip to Switzerland to visit her fiance leads to an adventure spiced with political intrigue for Claire Winslow (Kristin Dattilo). Upon arriving in the snowy confines of Switzerland, Winslow immediately senses something is wrong when she finds scant trace of her errant lover. A few clues lead her to the unlikely Central American location of El Coronado, where she becomes embroiled in a revolutionary uprising that seeks to overthrow the leaders of the war-torn country. Joined by Arnet McClure (Clayton Rohner), whose work as a television report is scant disguise for his work amongst the rebel faction, Winslow pulls out all the stops to find her beau, and uncover the reasons for his presence in such dangerous territory.
