Sabretooth (2002 TV Movie)
3/10
Cat scratch fever in overdrive.
2 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
A Sci-Fi Channel Original directed by James D.R. Hickox. CGI that fails as much as it works. Hackneyed story that is watchable to the end. Cloning with remarkably fertile DNA, scientists create a vicious sabretooth tiger that escapes in transit. John Rhys-Davies fantasizes about being president and Vanessa Angel aspiring a Nobel Prize hire hunter deluxe David Keith to find the deadly animal before it rips more people apart. Jenna Gering and Josh Holloway are conducting an outdoors clinic that is interrupted by the ravenous predator. The tiger is to weight between 300 and 500 pounds, but the CGI placement has the creature various sizes. And by the way, what color is this sabretooth?

Also in the cast: Nicole Tubiola, Lahmard J. Tate and Phillip Glasser. Keith is his usual cool and steady. Holloway appears to always be modeling.(Take him or leave him). But I found Tubiola to be the most exciting thing about this movie. Rhys-Davies and Tate are just plain obnoxious. And Angel most deservedly needed a rap across the chops.
