"To watch "Anaconda" is to get the impression that there is only one snake in the entire rain forest and that it's been waiting its whole life for a chance to devour Eric Stoltz, Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube. The three play the leaders of the expedition, who are traveling with their crew by barge, looking for the lost tribe. But those actors are mere window dressing for the main attraction of "Anaconda," Jon Voight, who does to the scenery what the snake does to the supporting players. He plays Sarone, a Paraguayan snake trapper who's rescued by the crew. Voight gets ethnic in a shameless way reminiscent of Al Pacino in "Scarface." He turns the corners of his mouth down so far that it's impossible to tell if he's smiling or sneering... He is the movie's all-purpose embodiment of mystery and destruction, and as such he provides some of the most deliriously absurd moments in the picture." - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
