Heatstroke Movie Download

5 / 10

THE ALPHA FEMALE
Paul( Stephen Dorfff) lives, breathes, and teaches about hyenas. His girlfriend Tally (Svetlana Metkina) is a one woman Peace Corp traveling the globe helping people out wherever they need it. Paul is headed back to the grassland/desert with Tally when circumstances and his ex-wife demands he take his brooding 13 year old daughter, Jo ( Maisie Williams) with him. She of course creates internal conflict because Tally is to blame for her parents being apart, etc., etc.

As the film progresses, they come across poachers and are in a fight for their lives as they have seen and know too much. You know the formula.

This is the old two people are forced to bond in a bad situation action-drama. How well you like it is going to depend on how well you like or identify with the two lead female characters. There isn’t much else happening. We needed something to bring the film full circle, i.e. something they said or did at the beginning of the film, saves them at the end…and it should concern a hyena…but it didn’t.

Hyenas, poachers, and critters were the bigger problems than the heat which they seemed to handle effectively, but I guess “Heatstroke” tested better than “When Poachers Go Bad.”
