Beast (2022)
Recent widower takes his two teen daughters to their mother's African home. What's meant to be a vacation turns into a fight for their lives as a lion who's lost the rest of his pride to poachers is now basically poaching all humans (killing to kill rather than to eat).
This story relies wholly on the daughters being unwilling to follow direction even when their lives depend on it. So, not only are they written in the most lazy, irritating "American teenagers amirite??" way, they're also BOTH pretty terrible actors. Sharlto Copley is about the best thing this movie has going for it, and he's not near enough.
