Rogue

Rogue (3 out of 5 stars). Rogue is a fair action film. Plot is decent. About a group of mercenaries led by Megan Foxs character. Which she makes a come back with a heroic action star. About them trying to save a couple of girls from trafficking in Africa. Until they get stuck in a compound with a lion hunting them. It does have a few good action sequences that was entertaining. A prolonged car chase. And a shoot out climax. I did find the script to be cheesy with horrible dialogue. And terrible cgi on the lion.

I actually enjoyed it. If you weren't expecting trash before you watched this movie than you're dumber than the plot but as far as trash goes, it was actually not too bad !!! The first 20-25mins was a great start and quite engaging. I went in expecting the worst so with my low expectations I was pleasantly surprised how entertaining it was. Look.....its predictable but there were some really cool scenes and this movie has plenty of laugh out loud moments just maybe not for the reasons intended. Give it a go, as long as you've seen the trailer and your expectations arent unrealistically high you might actually find the entertainment in this, I certainly did.

I hoped this would be something along the line of Prey or even the The Ghost And The Darkness but this was just a terrible and low budget creature feature with mercenaries and a lioness. In fact the lioness was there more as an afterthought and a plot device then a main antagonist. A bunch of mercenaries led by Samantha O Hara played by Megan Fox are rescuing a daughter of a governor in Kenya. They end up rescuing three hostages instead of the one and when the helicopter which is supposed to pick them up is shot down they need to keep on running from the terrorists who are after them and encounter a rogue lioness on a lion breeding farm. It turns out that the lioness is just protecting her cubs and is attacking anyone who endangers them. The acting is ok mostly , the effects go from b to c grade to just terrible and there is the annoying blood mist that disappears into thin air when someone gets shot which makes the movie look cheaper and cheaper. The story and script were a major let down at times as well. You could literally tell which person would be attacked by the rogue lioness by certain sentences that were uttered moments before. This took out all the excitement from the movie and just left mostly jump scares. The movie loses the plot with the lioness only attacking the villains of the film the main terrorists who is British turns out to be just a criminal saying his country never wanted him, one of the dying mercenaries saying how beautiful lions are and so on and so forth. There is even a scene where one protagonist says "well that just happened" as if acknowledging that something makes no sense in the movie makes it in any way ok for the audience just because you mentioned it in the actual film. While the end message of how the breeding of captive lions need to stop is commendable, the movie does not draw attention to it properly. A 3.5 out of 10.

The stereotypes on Africa are getting tired. This movie is plain bad on every level. With all the streaming companies today, anyone thinks they can make a movie. Which explains why most of those streaming services original movies are terrible and have low ratings. A lot of these movies would not find distribution in the old Hollywood or would be shown only in second rate theaters in third world countries. Megan Fox's best days as an actress are behind her.

The first 20 minutes is very action packed, it made you hate the bad guys and cheer when they are taken out. However, the movie gets very slow after that and never really recovers. Megan was unconvincing and I never felt anything for any of the characters. When they died I felt nothing. The CGI lions are terrible, like a high school final project quality. By the end when a CGI lion would eat someone I cheered, seriously, you wanted them dead that much.

A timid woman leading a bunch of rogues? Most unlikely and it shows in this movie! If you can endure the first half an hour and beyond - which is mostly comprising talk and arguments, it settles down somewhat and becomes an action movie closer to the end. The timid leader seems to have some qualities after all, but this makes the movie completely false and unbelievable.

The IMDB trolls are alive... but I found it entertaining. Megan Fox can not only run through the desert but does it like a professional with a gun. What were all the peons that wrote the silly reviews expecting? Jurassic Park CGI? Stuff blows up and it's gritty and real.

This film start with a bunch of men attack by the lion, and a woman "Samantha" commanding her team scene! As turnout, this film is about Samantha need to protect the governor's daughter "Asilia" from being abducted, and she also need to prevent her team kill by the lion live in the place they settle in! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching things scene, and overuse of the singing Backstreet Boys' song scene! Make the film unwatchable! The shooting and stabbing scene in the film have blood at certain point, but overall not satisfy, not intense, and too short! Majority shooting scene also quite messy, and barely showing opponent getting hit! The explosion scene just occur at the beginning of the film! The lion biting scene depict by very shaky low light camera! Pathetic! The crocodile killing scene just saw the blood in the water! At the end, the lion kill the last bad guy in the film! That's it! Another disappointed action film!

This is alright. It isnt the worst movie out there and I liked seeing Philip Winchester in this role again as I love the tv series Strike Back. So it was good to see jim again. Megan Fox is badass and it was good to see her in this role too. The cgi wasn't the best but i enjoyed it. Some of the other actors were bad but thats fine. It was still an alright movie. So if you like army movies then check it out.
