An English U.N. negotiator (David Thewlis) becomes stranded in the tropics with a mad scientist (Marlon Brando) who makes half-human beasts. Well, as usual, something goes wrong and the negotiator must try to stop it before it is too late.
It's not to say there's not a lot wrong with the film, but rather to suggest that the chief criticisms of it being strange and "a mess" aren't among them.
Amazingly, Kilmer delivers an odder performance than Brando. Creepy retelling.

Roughly akin to watching a slow-motion train wreck in which the flames spread into the brush and become an out-of-control wildfire. What the hell happened?
An often fascinating mess, but a mess all the same.

In its final third, the movie goes to hell in more ways than Frankenheimer intended.

The movie keeps switching focus without ever getting its bearings, and when Brando exits earlier than expected, there's little but mayhem to fall back on.
