Well intended but below par eco-action/drama

As "Sayen" (2023 release from Chile; 95 min) opens, a Mapuche woman is chased in the forest by 4 people with guns. All of the sudden she reaches a deep ravine with a big river at the bottom. Rather than be caught. The soman jumps... We then go to "Three Days Earlier" as the woman, who is named Sayen, arrives back after years away at her original village, in a remote part of southern Chile...Couple of comments: this is not your standard foreign movie. "Sayen" is specifically made around the aboriginal Mapuche people of southern Chile. Without giving much away, the film centers around how the Mapuche people's life style and more is threatened by an aggressive out of towner who envisions the area as perfect for eco-tourism. Of course! One of the best aspects of the movie is that we get a glimpse of what that part of the world actually looks like. The movie's photography is eye candy from start to finish, almost like a National Geographic documentary. That is a problem for the film, as there is quite a bit of awkward acting, and the underlying script is weak and predicable."Sayen" started streaming on Amazon Prime and I stumbled upon it when I was scrolling through the "recently added" section. I had never heard of this movie, and took a chance on it. Even though it's not the best of films, I'm nevertheless glad that I checked it out. Of course don't take my word for it, so if you are in the mood for a foreign film that is definitely not standard fare, I'd readily suggest you check it out and draw your own conclusion.

Somewhat mediocre

I thought the idea of the storyline was good so gave it a go.As with many of these so called movies today, it seems to be all about pumping out a movie without spending much money on good writers or directors.The acting could have been better but it was okay.I find that the story lacked depth and left you hanging with no win or defeat. This story had potential to be really good if the producers would have just given it some guts and backbone.At least the main antagonist got his just desserts. But what about justice for her grandmother and her people.I'm really starting to hate prime and Netflix because of these half baked movies that leave you unfulfilled.

Cliche and routine

(2023) Sayen (In Spanish and Mapudungun with English subtitles) THRILLER/ SOCIAL COMMENTARY.It opens with an aboriginal Mapuche woman of Chile, being chased by three people armed with guns through the forest until she jumps several feet down below into the water falls. The movie then jumps backward three days earlier, and we find out later that the woman who jumped at the opening her name is "Sayen" played by Rallen Montenegro- hence the title. And that her and her grandmother are clashing with Spanish developers, headed by the son, Antonio Torres (Aron Piper)in search for cobalt for the intention of pleasing his father Llamando Torres.From what you can watch from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, including North America the action in this film is quite weak and uninspiring. And don't get me wrong, I love to watch movies about female empowerment but the action is reminiscent toward a TV movie.I find that the poster of this movie slightly misleading as at first, I thought the Mapuche aboriginal woman was working alongside the white dude with the gun, but it's like as you are watching it, it turns out that the white guy on the poster is the same dude who killed that lady's grandmother and that she is seeking retribution on him as well as others. This is yet another example of false advertising.
