Movie Haiku:SPLIT DECISION: Rich say: Gibson’s heart-pounding, tense, involving action flick may not be plausible, but exotic setting is certainly interesting. Jan says: Oy! Riveting first half (rural versus urban life Maya-style) turns into one tediously long, gory, & totally predictable chase sequence. The ending was so ridiculous I started laughing.
