It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Not sure why so many low user reviews - this is a solid movie. It's worth checking out.

Not sure why all the terrible reviews. Sure, this is not your typical Stephen Dorf film, but the actors all did a great job -- portrayal of the average American family dealing with a disgruntled teenager in the aftermath of a divorce and an absent father wrapped up in his work, revealed through a (rather weak) attempt of the father to "man up" and be a dad. Sad, but after the mishap with the dad (mentioned in the description), the best thing that could have happened to this teenage female was what did happen -- to be alone with, and dependent upon, the adult female character. Although there are instances in which coincidence is way out of line with plausibility, the story line, overall, is believable. I did find it interesting that we did not see more animals, as we were taken through the wilds of South Africa. The adult female, though apparently out of her realm of expertise, seems quite capable, I was surprised that she was not portrayed as doing some basic survivalist things that even I would know to do. Overall a decent film, not too many boring moments.

OK. Let's start with the weaknesses. Formulaic plot. Jarring gaps in narrative. Stereotyped bad guys. Dumb behaviour causing the thematic problem. Now that that's out of the way, the scenery is fascinating, and the two female leads are absolutely fine in carrying out their roles. This is a part of the world we rarely see in film, and the settings are edifying. Also, the scientific material on hyenas is very interesting, and the development of a theme around their behaviour is pretty clever. This is a deeply flawed movie, but I didn't find it that hard to watch, and my memories of having seen it are mostly positive. It's worth watching if you're interested in African settings, animal behaviour and/or general adventure themes.

I can tell you right off the bat that I'm not going to write 10 real lines for this excuse of a D-movie!I'm just going to tell you that the characters are a joke and that the only actor that does a decent job is Dorff. That Russian actress is a joke - who the heck did she sleep with to get that role?! Stormare is on screen for maybe 5 minutes in total and Dorff is only in it for about half the duration... Oh and Dorf holding a gun on the cover/poster is purely for marketing purposes - he's not even touching a gun in the movie itself. Guess that's 10 lines which is 10 too many for this crap! AVOID!!
