A fairly solid movie. I got the required amount out of <em>'The Land Has Eyes'</em>. Sapeta Taito leads a decent cast nicely, portraying a story that holds suitable intrigue and drama - it gets hearty at one particularly moment too. Of course it isn't a perfect movie, the pacing for one could've been slightly improved, but for what it is I had a pleasant enough time with it. Cool seeing the visuals of Rotuma, a dependency of Fiji, on the silver screen. Hopefully there'll be more in the future.
