jhartweb Not sure why so many low user reviews - this is a solid movie. It's worth checking out.

adi_2002 Paul takes his young daughter and mistress to a wild adventure in the desert to see the surroundings and observe different animal behavior. For some reason they must separate from Tally in order to reunite again later but Paul falls as a prey to a sort of hunters who he sees them taking the fangs from a rhinoceros. Fortunately Josie escapes unharmed and she is found by Tally but now the two must run from those who hunt them.Well, it was a good way to spend an hour and a half although the story is quite sad. I still like it and having in mind that it doesn't contain violence to the animals, is bearable. The action is little is more like a cat and mouse type we see more running then action scenes, maybe this is the reason for the low rating, oh, and yes the little girl is annoying but hey, she is just a teen in our days so she didn't make a mistake. So for an sad adventure tale or for the melancholic type of audience this one is just fine.

lhunt-9 OK. Let's start with the weaknesses. Formulaic plot. Jarring gaps in narrative. Stereotyped bad guys. Dumb behaviour causing the thematic problem. Now that that's out of the way, the scenery is fascinating, and the two female leads are absolutely fine in carrying out their roles. This is a part of the world we rarely see in film, and the settings are edifying. Also, the scientific material on hyenas is very interesting, and the development of a theme around their behaviour is pretty clever. This is a deeply flawed movie, but I didn't find it that hard to watch, and my memories of having seen it are mostly positive. It's worth watching if you're interested in African settings, animal behaviour and/or general adventure themes.

patheticsniper (Spoilers throughout) Several times they are running away from a plane. It is flying directly at them, and they duck for cover just as it passes overhead. So they are in the pilot's full view until he passes over, at which point they duck for cover just as the pilot's line of sight is broken anyway. And it's not like this happened once, they do it over and over. Additionally, the fact that the pilot is always flying straight towards them from behind. If it were circling in broader and broader paths, it should have come at them from at least one other direction. He also conveniently turned around shortly after passing overhead as well. The only reasonable explanation is that he saw them, but is just messing with his employers by saying he doesn't.Otherwise, it was a decent movie. The tone of the movie was such that either of the main characters could have died at the end. Meaning they didn't seem to have "plot armor". I think at least two water-holes were skipped over, and the movie would have benefited from a little more protagonists vs. environment, and less of the protagonists being chased by the nasty men. The hallucinations of the father worked pretty well, as hallucinations do occur under such conditions. The hyena being (or representing) the father fell flat.
