	Luis Llosa at Hollywood.com
		Llosa began as a film critic and segued into producing and directing made-for-TV documentaries, including the highly regarded "The Gold of the Incas".
		Llosa hails from one of Peru's most influential families; their activities have encompassed politics, the arts, broadcasting and other media.
		Llosa's first involvement with the US film industry was as an assistant to producer-director William Friedkin and a dialogue coach on the lavish jungle suspenser "Sorcerer" (1977), shot largely in the Dominican Republic and Mexico.

	'Anaconda' is so bad it's entertaining
		When examining Llosa's track record, it becomes all too clear that this film's incompetence was not intentional, as Llosa's past two films--"Sniper" and "The Specialist"--rank among the most incompetent in recent history.
		Now, the question is whether the film's effectiveness is merely a fluke or whether Llosa finally realized that his limited talents are better suited to this arena.
		Llosa uses Voight's grimace as a character unto itself, frequently cutting back to it for no apparent reason.

		As action films go, Llosa's debut is more mindful than mindless.
		Berenger is Marine sniper Tom Beckett, a military hit-man with 74 kills under his belt and a troubled conscience squirming in his head.

	Feast of the Goat review (La Fiesta del Chivo) - movie review of the Luis Llosa film starring Isabella Rossellini
		This wasn't surprising since director Luis Llosa is also known for masterpieces such as Anaconda, Sniper and The Specialist.
		It must be said that the director isn't helped by the bad dialogues and poor acting that stuff his film — the presence of Steven Bauer and Tomas Milian, a master at overacting, should give you enough of a clue.
		Mister Llosa should go back to playing with snakes and guns, and leave history and politics alone unless of course he plans to take over Roger Corman and Trauma's empires.

		Llosa explicó que Trujillo era 'una figura de muchos gestos, un actor en sí mismo, que se miraba mucho, pero por otro lado, había en los excesos la posibilidad de que eso deviniera en la caricatura, por tanto ha habido que ser muy cauteloso en que se logre un tono correcto'.

	The Feast of the Goat (2006) - FilmAffinity
		Luis Llosa, Augusto Cabada, Zachary Sklar (Novel: Mario Vargas Llosa)
		Their epic story and that of Urania are intertwined in an intense kaleidoscope of love, hate, death and violence.
		This film, based on the passionate novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, is about a tremendous personal drama combined with a political conspiracy, a historic gesture, and a tragic ending that marked a new era in the history of the Dominican Republic.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Anaconda
		This adventure, directed by Luis Llosa of The Specialist and Sniper fame (or infamy, depending on how you look at it), follows a film crew traveling down the Amazon to make a documentary on a mysterious tribe.
		Llosa also uses some "state-of-the-art" computer animation for some shots of the snake striking and wrapping around its prey, but the effects are obviously computer generated; the seams are quite visible.
		The phony snakes are more than enough to ruin the film, but the true awfulness of Anaconda doesn't stop there.

	ANACONDA - SUPERBIT DVD
		Almost worth it just for Jon Voight's post-regurgitation wink, Luis Llosa's B-movie creature-feature Anaconda is a deadpan riff on the nature-amuck flicks of the mid-seventies in general and Steven Spielberg's Jaws in particular.
		Though it seems initially as if Llosa will wisely keep the creature from view throughout (its point-of-view menace throughout the early-going courtesy Butler's water-level eye), the second the snake appears in all its digital glory, any pretense of real fright falls by the wayside.
		Voight's performance alone is absurd enough to merit the film a look (it reminds in its alien fervour of Nicolas Cage's turn in Vampire's Kiss); Anaconda is his as soon as he appears, rendering moot the stunning predictability of the kills and false alarms.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Anaconda \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Loaded with camp dialogue to spare and a monster snake that looks too much like it came out of a computer instead of the Amazon, "Anaconda" is another major misstep for director Luis Llosa (who last gave us the overcooked Sylvester Stallone-Sharon Stone thriller "The Specialist").
		But Voight is not quite as ruthless as the snake, and Llosa takes full advantage of his computer-generated star as it swallows a few people whole.
		One of Llosa's problems is that he shows the monster too soon.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Anaconda
		ANACONDA is a horrible movie but a hell of a lot of fun.
		I have a feeling director Luis Llosa made it to be that way and so, after laughing at an overacting Jon Voight, an underacting Ice Cube and a fake-looking 40-foot long snake (which looks like it was computer generated on a Mac Classic), I'm giving ANACONDA a thumbs- almost-up.
		It's constructed like a disaster movie, with a big cast of caricatures who will be in constant danger, fatal for most of them.

		Stallone as Quick sleepwalks through his screen time, but as I watched this movie for the third time, I realized that the movie that I saw was exactly the one that director Luis LLosa wanted: a paen to the power and destructive force of matchbook sized bombs.
		Clearly, LLosa did not want anyone to take seriously the tale of a hired bomber who could kill in the hundreds and not arouse world wide attention.
		There are so many explosions that each one works metaphorically to eradicate any serious consideration of a plot that has as much weight as one of Quick's plastic explosives.

	Fire On The Amazon - Movie Review
		Yes, like many of those "overnight success" stories, Bullock had to slog through made-for-television weepies and cheapies, raunchy comedies and rip-offs of bigger, better Hollywood blockbusters.
		Director Luis Llosa was working his way through the ranks as well (he would go on to produce more generic action-adventure stories with gratuitous steamy sex scenes in the Stallone-Stone vehicle, The Specialist).
		If Llosa is the best talent Corman has to offer these days, which seems to be the case, I long for the days of Joe Dante, Ron Howard, and Paul Bartel where the films were done on a shoestring budget but had a vivid imagination and willingness to take chances.

		It has the elements required to build suspense, but fails to execute.
		Rather than set the film in the darkness, director Luis Llosa uses broad daylight, leaving nothing for your mind to run away with.
		Set in the Amazon, Llosa also largely ignores the terror of people in muddy water.

	Arrow In The Head's movie review of Anaconda: Jennifer Lopez/Terri, Kari Wuhrer/Denise, Jon Voight/Paul
		Take that golf club and shove it in your “hole in one” buddy!
		Scare-wise, the movie had its minor moments here and there, but Llosa introduced the creatures fairly flatly and the shoddy effects that accompanied them pretty much nixed the fear factor that I could have felt.
		Let's face it, the CGI snakes looked like rejects from any old “Coleco” game and the animatronics snakes actually appeared kind of cuddly in a “Care Bears’ kind of way; I WANT ONE.

		The litmus test of a giant killer-snake movie is whether or not the thing is scary, and director Luis Llosa delivers a plausibly thrilling ride, relying heavily on the horror conventions codified by JAWS.
		It won't take viewers long to realize that the callow, youthful documentarians led by cocksure anthropologist Steven Cale (Eric Stoltz) and first-time director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez) are going to be tested by the Amazon in their quest to find and film the anaconda-worshiping Shirishama Indians.
