August 5, 2007One of the greatest ever, just wish there was a little more of the lions killing people. First time I watched this movie I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

September 1, 2006I imagine this movie did for lions what Jaws did for sharks, because lions, like sharks, are not mindless killers, just their environments top of the food chain. But you do get those extremely rare and mystical beats who develop a taste for us feeble humans. managing a devishly dark mood in the swealtering African heat. Micheal Douglases character is great, and the violence is graphic and real.
Justins Best Bit: The lions horrific nature.
