a5c7b9f00b When an expedition to the African Congo ends in disaster, a new team is assembled to find out what went wrong.
A megalomaniac C.E.O. sends his son into the dangerous African Congo on a quest for a source of diamonds large enough and pure enough to functionpowerful laser communications transmitters (or is it laser weapons?). When contact is lost with his son and the team, his sometime daughter- in-law is sent after them. She is a former CIA operative and, accompanied by gee-whiz gadgetry and a few eccentric characters (including a mercenary, a researcher with a talking gorilla, and a a nutty Indiana-Jones-type looking for King Solomon's Mines), sets out to rescue her former fiancé. What they all discover is that often what we most want turns out to be the source of our downfall.
This was a highly-hyped movie prior to its release, but turned out to be a dud. I never talked to one person who ever liked this movie. I agree: I didn't like it, either. Perhaps one big reason it wasn't a box office success was that it had nothing but unappealing characters in the story.<br/><br/>For awhile there - I don't know if this is still true - I hadn't any movie in which Laura Linney or Dylan Walsh played anything BUT annoying characters.<br/><br/>That, and a stupid story, make this film a big disappointment, especially considering that big buildup. Did the filmmakers, with dialog this dumb, really think this was going to be a hit?
"Congo" takes place in (err) Congo, where we follow an expedition with a bunch of people with different motives into the jungle. Two of them wants to take a talking(!) gorilla back to the jungle where she was once born. A scientist is looking for a diamond that her company badly needs, and she´s also looking for her lost co-worker and ex-boyfriend, who disappeared in the jungles of Congo. With them are also a greedy Romanian (with a very peculiar accent) who wants diamonds for his own. To protect them from various dangers, they´ve hired a sleezy mercenary, who´s got a group of soldiers (who later are revealed to be pretty useless when it comes to fighting). In the jungle they encounter lots of dangers suchbad weather, a spooky indian tribe and a crazy hippo, before they finally face their worst opponent yet: murder gorillas!<br/><br/>"Congo" has everything a classic B-movie should have; a silly plot, B-actors, unconvincing special effects, lots of logical gaps in the script and talking gorillas. The movie feels a bit like a roller-coaster at Universal Studios or something, however it´s not a very funny one.<br/><br/>It begins with an exciting scene in the jungle, but we only get a glimpse of what will come. But after this "Congo" soon becomes boring and stupid, with weapons made of diamonds and an irritating gorilla. And in the end everything just collapses and becomes a shoot-em-up flick. The movie has some beautiful sceneries of the African nature, but this doesn´t help the movie much.<br/><br/>The actors are okay, but Laura Linney and David Hasselhoff-look alike Dylan Walsh are far to pale in the leading roles. Instead, "Congo" belongs to the mercenary, played by Ernie Hudson, and the Romanian scoundrel, played by the delightful Tim Curry. These two have some funny moments, and almost makes this a comedy. Since you´ll be laughing out loud when you hear the stupid lines and see the crappy effects, you might actually believe that "Congo" is intended to be a comedy. I was also very surprised to see unbilled performances by the two great actors Joe Pantoliano and Delroy Lindo. I mean, what are THEY doing in this mess? Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell has a very small role, but it´s funny to see him in a movie, since we get to see far to little of this great actor, I think.<br/><br/>It seems to me that those who has read the book "Congo" by Michael Crichton were very disappointed with the movie, and really hated it because the book was so much better. I haven´t read the book, so I can´t comment that, but I think that the movie is pretty harmless and if you don´t think too much about it, it´s not THAT bad.<br/><br/>** out of *****
As if aware that Congo is the least interesting adventure ever filmed, screenwriter John Patrick Shanley (who once wrote a funny movie called "Moonstruck") tries to inoculate the activities with humor.
