Kilmers testament as a Hollywood macho, he gave it all to the cameras, which inspired by the man eating lions, had him as never before and after. Something special got to have happenned for him to be so inspired and generous to the cameras, was he in love during the process (of filming)? There he left his mojo for the ages to come, shinning in full splendour.

If you’re a lover of 90’s films, this is a must watch. It has everything a great movie needs, fantastic cast, rich cinematography, unique score and heart rate-elevating action sequences. Critics got this one way wrong. Dim the lights, get the popcorn and 90’s creature feature out 🤙🏼

Saw the two lions, stuffed and displayed, in Chicago some 43 years ago. Thought then that the actual event as described at the display in the Field Museum of Chicago would make a great movie. Happy to see it was later made in 1996, abiet with a little extra "Hollywood" effects and storytelling thrown in. Fine cast, superb cinematography, plenty of native extras, a wonderful sound track, and enough suspense to keep you awake and checking under your bed all night. Some critics liked it, some didn't, but on the whole it's an exciting and entertaining movie well worth the viewing.

Lots of good scare, good storyline, good acting, great thriller, loved it, 5 stars for me, in my top 20

En aquellos 90´s este peli me parecio entretenida pero el pasar de los años y volverla a ver cambio mi opinion, un guion flojo, val kilmer actua bien pero el acto final carece de emocion al mostrar un simple leon enojado.

If you like adventure If you appreciate the hunter in most men This is a movie for those who hunt,and feel for both the hunter and the hunted. In this case,the hunters do become the hunted.

A guilty pleasure film with great visuals and an interesting story but I have to be honest as soon as Michael Douglass appears on screen the movie goes full Hollywood......A dam shame.

Some may not agree with my rating and that is okay. I love the fact that it's based on a true story (loosely but still). They took a real event but hyped the event up, but it's not over done. If you enjoy adventure, suspense, a little horror and you like history than this has all of that. The acting is good, the story/plot is good and it's a movie that I can see over and over and it never get's old. It was filmed in Africa and not some backstage in Hollywood which is nice. Val plays a Irishman and his accent isn't the greatest but you quickly get over it.

It's an embarrassing failure on all fronts, which is a shame as it squanders a perfectly good (and true) man vs. lion story. I think Kilmer and Douglas had a contest to see who's accent work could be worst (Spoiler alert: Kilmer won).

It's a great B movie. The acting is exaggerated, the set feels cheap like a lifetime movie but if you can accept that and see the fun in it, the movie becomes very engaging and entertaining.

Best Lion Horror Film ever could be made and a true story too. A must see.

A great historical story from colonial British history, with on-screen decors and drama to create a believable stage. Although it might be considered a typical 90's movie, with sufficient flaws and unnecessary Hollywood adjustments to the real story of the Tsavo Man-Eaters - it's thrilling to watch and brings home the fear and perseverance that accompanied railway building in East Africa in the late 19th Century.

It's decent as a suspenseful adventure, but for the most part it dragged too much in spots and got hung up on silly superstition. Some of the effects don't hold up as well these days either.

It all ends up amounting to very little.

Based on true events. Great story

The movie and plot provided a good movie. The only thing I had trouble with was Val Kilmer was supposed to be an Irish soldier but used an American accent. As well as there were times that the music drowned out the conversations. Definitely a movie to watch.

Val K and Michael D are impeccable in this movie. They played very well off of each other. The writing and direction of the movie flowed very well with the plot.

This film is quite atmospheric and seems to have good potential but ultimately I didn't think it was particularly good at all due to the cliches it contained. There's the rather pompous English guy, a villain and the extroverted, rebellious American who does things on his terms and somewhat takes over. The plot is a bit slow to build at first but then I liked seeing the landscape of the surrounding area and the local workers, i.e. getting a feel for the place. The story of the Lions attacking workers interested me but I'm not sure the viewer really learns a great deal from it ultimately. The script wasn't great and I can't help but feel like this could have been a better film but in the end it was pretty unremarkable and certainly not the kind of film I'm much likely to remember at all really, hence why I wouldn't recommend it.

Set in the Africa, not to be confused with the socially just version of Africa (note: having no political motives can go a long way.) Mostly forgettable but the idea of lions killing for pleasure instead of food is an interesting one.

I remember seeing this movie in the cinemas when it was first released and being scared to death. Though its a movie that feels it was made in the 50-60s it still holds up today - mostly.
