Movie Review: Glad to see it on DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

So happy to see this finally come to dvd. I remember seeing this on Vhs when I was a young girl. I hated to see they had to add subtitles that were not quite true in translation. The moive is not hard to understand if you are realy paying attention. They are so many moives to watch, The Lunatic, Smile orange, Shottas, Klash, Third World cop, Dancehall Queen, and Belly. Any body know where I can get The Lunatic ? please let me know. I have seen it once in the UK and Have the book.

Summary of Countryman

A contemporary Jamaican fable with a remarkable, out-of-nowhere hero, Countryman is the story of a Rastafarian fisherman, Countryman (credited to "Himself"), who rescues a marijuana-smuggling, American couple from an airplane crash. The good deed doesn't end there, however. An ambitious and power-hungry, emerging despot, Colonel Sinclair (Basil Keane), hypes the significance of the crash to impress political leaders, maintaining the smugglers are, in fact, enemy agents plotting against the government. Thus Countryman's new friends are in great danger, and he keeps them out of harm's way between smoking spliffs and putting up a preternaturally agile fight against Sinclair's weapons-wielding thugs. The film exudes an infectious, contact-high energy, and Countryman's gravity-defying stunts should please fans of similarly spectacular martial-arts movies such as Hero. The soundtrack to this 1982 movie features some of the greats of Jamaican reggae, including Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, and Steel Pulse. --Tom Keogh
