An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer, I thought I might as well check it out. Eventually, even though it didn’t really get much love when it was released, I have to admit it, I thought it was actually not bad at all. I mean, sure, as it was pointed out by many people, it's a little bit like 'Jaws' but instead of sharks, you have some lions but I thought it was actually fairly entertaining. Indeed, even though the whole thing was not really original and rather predictable, it was still in fact well made and Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer both delivered some decent performances here. There is also the issue that it was supposedly based on some real events but so many elements were made up (for example, the character played by Douglas has never actually existed), that the tale did lose some of its impact. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, I thought it was a decent watch and I think it is definitely worth a look though, especially if you like the genre.
