Beast | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Though peopled with characters behaving irrationally, this Baltasar Kormákur directorial is enjoyable in an economic, bare-bones way.

Beast is filled with appreciation for South Africa and plenty of fun action scenes, but its script stops it from reaching its true potential.

Easiest way to put it… this is surprisingly good. For a 90 minute thriller you’ll find some wicked intense shots that give you a ton of anxiety! Idris Elba sells this entire concept in an exciting way & there’s even a bit of emotion to it all!

There's some fun to be had with the action sequences when the mayhem starts but there's quite a lot that is just plain silly.

So, accepting the absence of thematic content and realistic portrayals of the natural world such films inevitably must be somewhat about themselves and how they were made. And Beast is made with a degree of elegance that’s wholly unexpected...
