[luka]

I preferred the book Under The Volcano to the film. Rare I say that too. I found it more rugged. Certainly fits the bill though.

I can only think of rubbish films set in the Amazon like The Mosquito Coast or The Emerald Forest but they don't quite fit the bill, neither does a better film noir called The Chase, they go to Cuba at least, and the film kinds of falls apart halfway through much like Lost Highway and it has Peter Lorre.

[yyaldrin]

the last scene of a film in which a gang of bank robbers have made it big time and are now celebrating their new millionaire lifestyle on some remote tropical place. drinking and smoking, playing cards under the parasol.
