Beast
The real tragedy of Beast is that the lion didn’t get ahold of the script before the actors did. Poor Elba, Copley, and Halley are saddled with some truly awful dialogue and a story that seems pieced together by Ryan Engle (who wrote the underwhelming Rampage as well) in a way that’s both insulting and boring.
It’s also one of those movies where every bit of information you get will come up again because the writer can’t be bothered. If you pay attention to the opening spiel about lions, you’ll get the plot of the movie.
Verdict: Seeing Idris Elba box a lion is pretty cool, but with a script this lame, wait for streaming.
