Orpailleur (2009)
18 ans après avoir quitté sa terre natale, Rod, jeune Parisien d´origine guyanaise, rentre au pays suite à la disparition de son frère aîné. Gonz, son ami d´enfance des cités, fait partie du voyage. À Cayenne, la révélation d´un douloureux secret de famille pousse Rod dans une quête effrénée de vérité. Il fait la connaissance de Yann, une jeune guide de tourisme écologique très remontée contre les méfaits de l’orpaillage clandestin. Tous les trois seront dès lors pris dans un engrenage, entraînés au bout fleuve, au coeur de la forêt amazonienne, dans le milieu hostile et archaïque des orpailleurs clandestins...

The greatest movie ever made..!
Boring
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
It's so rare, a french adventure yarn. This film is forgettable but remains a good time waster. Totally ignored when it was released, I wonder how the producers, director and actors got paid at the end. And there are many of this kind of films...Anyway, this story of a young man seeking for his brother and father in the green Guyana hell, among undercover gold searchers - and also law breakers - is entertaining enough to keep you awake. But I preferred SIX CENT KILOS D'OR PUR, two years ago, starring Clovis Cornillac, describing almost the same backgrounds: Guyana forest and its gold seekers, hard boiled adventurers. Philippe Nahon stars here the leader of the bad guys. A performance just fit for him.This film remains classic, with no surprises at all. But why not ?
