Beast- Cujo's Safari

09/17/2022

Beast (2022) was directed by Baltasar Kormákur and stars Idris Elba as a father who takes his two daughters out to South Africa. After encountering a Lion who is out for revenge, he has to get him and his family out alive. This movie was the best killer animal movie I have seen in a long time. Sadly, that isn't saying much. If this movie was based in reality, it would a total mess. The things that these characters go through is ridiculous. I even came into this film expecting some campy aspects but there were way to much for my liking. I also really disliked the family dynamic for the film. I understand that there needed to be a reason as to why these characters were there, but they honestly should have just rewritten that entire subplot. Idris Elba does a great job with putting the entire film on his back. He displays some great acting chops and makes his characters motivations seem real. I also have to say that the final fight between the father and the killer lion was hard to watch. It was really brutal and actually put me on the edge of my seat. At the end of the day, this movie would have been great if the script and choices these characters made weren't horrendous. Props to Idris Elba for putting on a great performance, but I have no clue why he took this script.
