Clever, humorous gore
I don't usually review movies I'd give six stars, but this is a good six for the right viewer. The opening twenty minutes is outrageous given that this has *some* basis in true events, unlike sharknado-based gore. The violence would be Tarantino-like if it weren't so hilarious. Some of the action sequences are done marvelously, with densely packed care for how the dialogue, plot, and visual action line up just right and on time. But I find it hard to go above a six, despite all that, because when the movie does extend beyond entertainment, it's at that level. That almost pulls it down a bit, how simple the messaging gets. It's a nice look at nature, though, and so ridiculous it stays funny. Well acted in places, too. This was a cared-for look at animal drug use.
