Indio (1989)
6/10
Adequate action film was a big direct to video hit in the early 90's

Warning: Spoilers
Francesco Quinn stars as a half Indian soldier who returns to the jungles of South America to find that bad guy Brian Dennehy has brought up the land of his native village and driven his people into the jungle so that he can build an industrial plant to rape the environment and natural resources.

Good mindless action film was notable for the appearance of Marvelous Marvin Hagler during the height of his popularity. (Hagler would take the lead in the sequel which didn't have Quinn in it). It's the sort of film that's kind of hard to really say much about other than its an adequate action film that does what it does and then gets off. It was perennial renter in when the film came out on video tape at the store I worked at because it was a film that had the reputation for being entertaining and not too taxing. It's a small scale exploitation film and on that level its gangbusters. It's the sort of a film that is perfect for a rainy Saturday night when you just want to sit on the couch and just chill with a bowl of popcorn.
