‘Beast’ written by Ryan Engle, based on a story by Jaime Primak has a flawed script and therefore it’s the helming that counts

A still from `Beast (English)`
Film: Beast (English)
Cast: Idris Elba, Iyana Halley, Leah Sava Jeffries, Sharlto Copley, Martin Munro, Daniel Hadebe, Thapelo Sebogodi, Chris Langa, Mduduzi Mavimbela, Chris Gxalaba
Directed: Baltasar Kormákur
Rating: 2.5/5
Runtime: 93 mins
Director Baltasar Kormákur’s `Beast` has a wild animal gone rogue premise and the best thing in the movie are the Lions – they look absolutely real and fearsome. Veteran cinematographer Philippe Rousselot captures the gorgeous views of the South African wilderness beautifully while the CGI is seamless and believable. The film has been shot on location in Limpopo province and Northern Cape province, South Africa, and the Oscar-winning Rousselot films the hunting and hunted sequences from the point of view of the character being chased. So it’s all shaky and turbulent, thus creating a fair amount of tension to go with the action.
