Rogue (2020)
Mercenary's on a mission and a killer animal flick, Rogue is an enjoyable exploitation fusion that has anti human trafficking and animal abuse messages at it's heart.
A thrilling opening half hour flies by at a breakneck pace as Megan Fox (Yes, really) and her team of mercs rescue three school girls from the clutches of people trafficking jihadi's somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Not only do they have to contend with holing up at a disused lion farm surrounded by a small army of angry insurgents but also being picked off one by one by an extremely pissed off CG lioness.
I can't imagine Megan Fox would be anyone's first choice for a movie such as this but she's more than decent and director M.J. Bassett (Wilderness, Deathwatch, Solomon Kane) is pretty adept at this sort of thing.
