M L Nov 27 Haunting, powerful, and very relevant to out modern day. Movie does justice to Theroux’s even bleaker novel. Now that Harrison Ford is a grumpy old curmudgeon in real life, the role seems tailor made for him! Helen Mirren is an angel. River Phoenix plumbs depths most adults can’t fathom. As a boy who lived aboatd his father’s sailboat during my teenage years, encountering many indigenous Pacific isles, watching this movie is like seeing my bright painful past unfold before me… See more Jelisije J Nov 21 Harrison Ford portrays a genius family man who becomes mad in the process of making a new civilization in South America at the expense of his family.

See more Karen O Oct 21 Drags somewhat and the same predictable theme carries through although good acting. See more Yash B Feb 24 Despite a somewhat interesting character study and some thought-provoking ideas, "The Mosquito Coast" is a tough watch simply because it is a boring movie. Harrison Ford's character is also despicable in this movie and I never found him likable in any capacity, and there is really no reason to root for him. I think it would have been fine if he did something interesting but all of his actions were just frustrating. Overall, the movie did have the potential to be something more interesting, but the end result is just a bit of a snooze fest and ultimately failed to leave an impact on me. See more Anthony S 03/30/2024 A hugely underrated movie Harrison Ford gives a superb performance of a very complicated man who it's very hard to like. Helen Mirren also puts in a strong performance as his kong suffering wife who struggles to cope with her husband's decent into madness. If you haven't seen this movie ignore what the Media critics say I did and discovered a really engrossing film that I have revisited several times. See more Read all reviews
