Apocalypto

Author A. O. Scott (The New York Times) begins his review with a quote from the movie; “I’m going to peel off his skin and make him watch me wear it.” After briefly listing the most memorable action scenes from the movie, Scott begins talking about the director, Mel Gibson, and compares this film with others he produced. Scott claims this is another "conservative anti-imperialism" movie by Gibson. After Scott explains the setting, he starts describing key parts of the film's plot. Finaly, an overall opinion is stated about the film, just before a list of the crew and cast.
