Caccia mortale

Though the production values were decent and the acting was acceptable, the story was trite and predictable from one minute to the next. I won't go into examples because that would necessarily add spoilers and, in any case, there are just too many of them to list. Additionally, most of the animals that were the main characters driving the story line were so noticeably computer generated they weren't believable at all. I expected more from this but was extremely disappointed. Not recommended.

It's a 10 if you like watching stupid people make one stupid decision after another.

I literally started fast forwarding 5 minutes in, hoping to reach a point where I wasn't watching a gang of imbeciles (the "family") but nope.... a total waste of time.

2 is being generous.

The story is bad enough. Five of the dumbest and most contrary tourists in the history of film decide it would be cool to manage their own safari. With no prior experience whatsoever. But the casting is absurd. Early in the script the husband criticizes his daughter for dating an older boy. The wife (played by the too-glamorous Rebecca Romijn) replies the age difference was the same as theirs ... when they dated. Except the casting is backwards. In reality Romijn is 10 years older than Winchester, and not the other way around?????

When I read the reviews for this film the one thing I repeatedly saw being said was that there was non stop stupid decisions by the main characters. I would like to remind people that this is basically the premise for every film. If people made the right decisions there would be nothing on TV.

I do agree however that the acting was bad an the CGI was not very well done. Definitely could have been better but was anyone reallu expecting this to be a masterpiece? There are definitely worse films out there.

M. J. Bassett, as both director and one of the 3 writers, did the wildlife of Africa no justice whatsoever; as he turned a very real story of real life sad events into a botched up shambles of a thriller-less and action-less load of embarrassing stupidity!

It pisses me off that film directors who have no clue of a good idea, have the gall to think the vast majority of the viewing public are gullible idiots. Everything about this film (except the reason for making it to inform the world about the danger to animal species due to scumbags, both wealthy and poverty stricken, involved in the poaching industry) was just wrong!

I have seen much, much, MUCH better films, both fictional and documentary, highlighting the near mass extermination of animals to satisfy (the mainly Chinese market) mythical beliefs and greedy profiteers!

I have spent time in the wild wilderness of Kenya and experienced the constant awareness of vigilant alertness to ever present danger, and encountered the ecstatic beauty that can be seen amidst everyday daily life. I have spent time with the Masai tribal people, and listened to their stories, as well as other tribal group members. Its a country of raw, wild and dangerous beauty but its nothing like the clueless insult that this film projects (though I will admit that Americans being the sort of people they are can quite possibly be found to act as stupid as this family but, human nature is much like that the world over in this day and age).

With all the hardships and misery people have these days I would suggest that they avoid this utter claptrap.

PS: No wonder I prefer Sci-Fi, South Korea, both Japanese Anime and action movies. The far east makes much better films these days.
