Pros: Historical Backing
Good Action
Good Casting
Cons: Rated R
Summary: If you like stories of spirits and things that go bump in the night, you're in the wrong place. The events in this film actually happened. More than a creepy safari story, the man-eaters featured here did much worse than the film's account. Col. John ... read more

Cons: In some places it looked like the lions were a little to big.
Summary: After renting this video, I went out and bought it. I fell in love with the scenes of Africa, the story, the whole bit. There is nothing better than a real live story to have a hit in the movie world, and this is one of the best I've heard.

Pros: Early lion attacks
Cons: Way too many lion attacks, boring characters and events
Summary: You would think that a film based on the true story of a pair of killer lions in Africa would be suspenseful and a really good movie. Especially with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. Sadly, the film is not all it's cracked up to be, a redundant and ... read more
