Review
Imagine a land in which lions roam around freely, picking off the lame and halt. Then they turned on the healthy and white! Steven Hopekins brings us so close and personal you can almost smell the aftershave of the monster's last lunch partner. Val Kilmer plays a strange, shamanistic "imagineer" seeking a new way of life. And boy does he find it! Michael Douglas, in something of a departure, plays his love interest as a haggard, disease-ridden old man with nothing left to live for but to bag the Last Lion of The Serengeti. I won't spoil it for you, but I'll leave you with this: it's all true! Enjoy!
