"An interesting movie based on true events. It's a bit slow in some areas but the movie does the actual events justice on how the movie was made on trying to tell the actual story of what happened. It should be noted that the actual events happened in 1898 in East Kenya, Africa, where two lions terrorized a British railroad camp on the Tsavo River for nearly a year, killing dozens of workers.

"Not a bad watch! Very original plot (it’s somewhat of a true story about real people, I heard) i genuinely never knew what would come next- super glad it wasn’t predictable. I mainly watched this movie because it had Val Kilmer in it. Majority of the movies he plays in are very unheard of. My only complaint is the CGI of the lions are not great, I almost got dizzy from the different random angles all flashing at once. But this is a 90’s movie so it’s understandable. 6.5/10"
"Douglas and Kilmer at their best "
