      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Louis Black Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times All of the elements are here for a movie I would probably enjoy very much, but somehow they never come together. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media As bickering scientists, Medicine Man's two leads never quite convince as either peers or as possible romantic partners. Rated: 2/5 Jan 11, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...mostly sluggish and uninvolving... Rated: 2/4 Jul 7, 2022 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Not good enough to go actively searching for, but decent enough to watch through at least once to pass the time. Rated: 4/10 Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Kristen M I enjoyed this film. Exotic location, interesting premise, quality actors, made for an intriguing watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Steve D Sean Connery is completely unconvincing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Hugh L Critics did not understand Cry Fredom and they don't understand this film. Dr Raye Crane is very annoying but she is supposed to be. 007 was charming. The indigenous people were treated respectfully (speaking as someone from and living on a reservation in the US). The topic of the exploitation of native people ND the environment was prescient and the plot twist of what the cure actually was proved to be clever and an "aha" moment. There are two dozen movies I watch at least once a year and this is one of them. I won't watch Citizen Kane ever again but I've watched this film 20 or 30 times and never get tired of it. It is very enjoyable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/22 Full Review Audience Member So many critics hated this movie, but I loved it. The soundtrack is splendid. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review chris w A movie in one way, ahead of its time. 30 years ago it predicted how deforestation would lead to a loss of biodiversity. And a loss of biodiversity then makes man vulnerable to a disease Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Lindsey T I may be the only one that likes this movie, but I think it's well-paced and cinematically pretty. Sean Connery is fun here, and it at least sticks out from typical fare. Lorraine Bracco's character is a bit annoying, but apart from that, the film gets a bad rap. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/21 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
