Bridget Moynahan stars in this thriller about a woman and her step-kids who go on an off-road safari in South Africa only to find themselves trapped in the vehicle when their guide is eaten by a pride of Lions.
The film starts out like any other creature feature apart from the fact that it adds a human drama element (which works well) and then we’re right into the action.
Moynahan and the rest of the cast do well but it’s really all about the lions and boy are they scary. Jumping, running, leaping these bad boys do it all and the action is expertly intercut making it look as though the cast are in real danger.
OVERALL SUMMARY
This is what Burning Bright should have been. I wouldn’t rush out and buy a copy, but if it appears on TV late one night you should definitely check it out.
