Pablo Fendrik's Rainforest Western is essentially George Stevens' Shane set in wettest Argentina, with the distractingly handsome Gael García Bernal in the Alan Ladd role. In addition to a great deal of violence and pwnage, the frequently meditative Ardor also has plenty of lovely cinematography of Argentina's Paraná River, but let's face it: Few things are more satisfying than watching men with guns getting their asses handed to them, particularly by someone much prettier than them.
