3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. interesting if you like screenplaysBy NancyhuaI read this screenplay because I wanted to learn about what such a document would even look like for an action movie that contains relatively little dialogue. If you havent already seen the movie; or are not accustomed to reading screenplays; it may be hard to follow the action because the descriptions involve a few adjectives with changes in camera angles. The screenplay tells the true story of 2 lions who terrorized a bridge building project and killed hundreds of men. The actors and directors bring a lot to the table so you have to a big imagination if you expect to feel anywhere near the range of emotion youd feel while watching the movie; especially since much of the effect of this movie has to do with the largeness and awe inspired by actually seeing the African landscape; though the book does include a few black and white screenshots. As a screenwriter Goldman is a master- its amazing to me that the same guy wrote both Heat and the Princess Bride.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
