"Congo" is a film that massacres a novel by
Michael Crichton. A team of scientists and soldiers enter the dark rain forests
of the Congo in search of a mysterious blue diamond that might revolutionize
communication technology (or the arms race). Unfortunately, the diamond is
guarded by evil gorilla clones inside an ancient temple. Corrupted mercenaries
with a taste for sesame cake, a tame gorilla that likes martini, and
multinationals up to no good are other ingredients in this hideous turkey. But
yes, it's mentioned (tongue-in-cheek) at several cryptozoological websites. The
heroes eventually escape from the temple of doom when it turns out that the mad
killer apes worship Amy the Martini Drinking Gorilla as a deity. Ha ha ha. I
admit that I haven't really seen this film. As behoves a genuine Amazon
reviewer, this review is based purely on hearsay. KIDDING. One thing is for
sure: I already have a stereotypical love-hate relationship to
"Congo". If you loved/hated "Anaconda II" and similar
flicks, this is definitely in your league. Otherwise, you might consider
watching "Gorillas in the mist", LOL.
