You'll be hard pressed to find a worse movie in 2022. Idris Elba and his two brutally annoying daughters are hunted by a rogue lion. There is nary a single move made by the two hapless actresses playing Elba's daughters that is not intended to aggravate Elba, the lion and/or the audience. A talented actor like Elba deserves a lot better than to be saddled with trying to lend any amount of dignity to junk like this. Directed in such a dull manner by Baltasar Kormákur that the film is devoid of any suspense or sense of dread for the eponymous animal. Lapses in logic abound, beginning with the fact that while Elba is playing a doctor, he seems wildly incapable of helping with even the most superficial wounds inflicted on many of the characters. Shockingly, the cinematography is by the great Philippe Rousselot!
