I first saw this on one of my first dates as a 16 year old. Probably picked it because I always liked Sean Connery, and because "Save the Rainforests" was all the rage back then. I thought the movie was fine, but it didn't leave a big impression on me either way. I picked it up again a few years ago mostly out of nostalgia for my youth and the zeitgeist of the early 90s, and my wife also remembered seeing it and liking it when it was first released. Yeah, some of the messaging is a little heavy handed and the story predictable. Yeah, Bracco's performance is kinda annoying, but both Bracco and Connery blamed that on McTiernan's direction of her, which she says went against her instincts. Despite its flaws, the story is fairly engaging and the visuals of the rainforest are stunning.
