About

You’ll likely enjoy this intense, scenic true-story drama if you want hard-edged anti-poaching stakes and hardship; Not for you if you dislike morally gray tactics or are sensitive to disturbing animal-poaching imagery like in Himalaya.

Pros: moving true-story; stunning mountain setting; gripping antipoaching mission | Cons: morally gray methods; heavy disturbing poaching imagery; uneven character depth
