It's tempting to view M.J. Bassett's endangered species as Lionsgate's attempt to cash in on the revival. The trailer shows a skinny, sweaty, mid-level executive guy on safari with a brood treating him like the pathetic nerd he seems to be. We are introduced to the rebellious teenage girl with the shaved head who despises her own privilege; her new century hippie boyfriend; a younger brother who is probably gay; and a mother who wears pants in the family (even if they look like shorts).

I don't have a problem with shaved-headed girls, gay teens, hippies, or strong women. However, I'm growing tired of the doofus-daddy archetype in entertainment that incongruously portrays straight white men as both hopelessly incapable and as oppressive bullies who have ruined the planet, society, culture. , fashion, etc. Pop culture dads have ditched wisdom typefaces to limping taps that constantly need to be put back in their place - however ill-defined this place is.

Oddly enough, this phenomenon transcends race, but still falls under the rubric "Whiteness". Go figure it out.

If you think I'm reading too much into the politics of this film, consider the following lines of dialogue, addressed (directly and indirectly) to the patriarch of the Halsey family, Jack (Philip Winchester): “The old white men in suits are on the move. screw it up for us ”And“ Violence, corruption, child labor - all for [cobalt cell phone] ”.

Endangered species surface themes are so much on the nose that they might as well be zits. Fortunately, Bassett (and co-writers Paul Chronnell and Isabel Bassett - the director's daughter, who also plays Jack's daughter, Zoe) are interested in more than a regular Colonizer Comeuppance story. Which means there is some cosmic justice for Exxon Jack's executive, but the rest of the family learn ugly truths about the progressive American bubbles they have happily and critically bounced into. on daddy.

From the first minute, things go wrong for the Halseys. Their flight to Kenya is choppy. The truck they hired to visit Amboseli National Park turns out to be a junker (“I asked for a Mercedes,” Jack tells a guide with a smirk). Zoe insists on bringing glass water bottles on the trip - all of which shatter when the family's transport is loaded by a rhino after Jack smashes a security fence in order to disprove his reputation for safety.

Also in glass: the insulin vials that would have been nice to have as a diabetic mom Lauren (Rebecca Romijn) struggles in the sun. In no time, the group broke up and ran into a leopard, ravenous hyenas, and ultimately a team of poachers and their ruthless leader - the truly evil imperialist capitalist that Zoe probably thought her father was up to. that he comes face to face with the real thing.

I won't spoil the details of the Hawleys again. The trailer has done it before - including what is, in context, a really mouth-to-mouth shock that I'm embarrassed to say that made me jump. Bassett and his company have come up with a very effective and lush little thriller, which saves the most contrived plot elements for the last act and instead relies on the primitive fear of helplessness in the face of nature to carry a big part of the story.

What makes the movie a staple, however, is the deconstruction of the archetypes I listed at the start of this review. The film's title obviously refers to the animals that Mitch and his team of locals hunt, slice, and sell on the black market. But it also suggests that the nuclear family, represented by the Halseys, is also in danger of disappearing. Yes, families come in all shapes, sizes, dynamics, etc.

For much of the film, Jack is the stand-in for Friday the 13th Crazy Ralph - the character who warns everyone to use common sense in the face of very obvious peril. The problem is that any authority he could exercise in his job is completely undermined by the people who don't work for him (as well as his own pride). He refuses to acknowledge his discomfort that his son, Noah (Michael Johnston), has a boyfriend, even though everyone can see him. He angrily threatens to cut off his daughter's cell phone and cancel her summer concert tickets when Zoe gives him an attitude.

The other film "Endangered Species", which is endangered by raging animals this weekend, differs from "A Quiet Place Part II" in many ways, especially in that its characters cannot stop jerking - with correspondingly less concern from the audience to survive under extreme stress. MJ Bassett's South African-produced thriller has an American vacation clan doing the wrong things in a Kenyan wildlife sanctuary. Needless to say, to the sorrow of our protagonists, the local fauna quickly notices that there are fresh snacks available in the savannah.

The contentious human dynamic makes this outdoor suspense exercise one where we start looking for the four-legged performers too early. Smooth and scenic, but increasingly silly, in the end it has become perhaps the most preaching nature conservation adventure with a wrong head since the infamous “roar” 40 years ago. Lionsgate is released in digital, VoD and limited-edition cinemas. Blu-ray and DVD will follow on June 1st. Exxon manager Jack Halsey (Philip Winchester) is a Type A who is dissatisfied with his family vacation before it even starts. He would have preferred a beach resort to expensive safari vacationer Lauren (Rebecca Romijn), whom he insisted on. They are sped towards it in a rickety little plane that he is also holding, while the children duly notice that Dad sneaks up alcohol to deal with, while Mom turns a blind eye.

These young adult children also have their own problems with him: son Noah (Michael Johnston) is close to his father, but at the same time feels that his homosexuality is not fully accepted. Daughter Zoe (Isabel Bassett) never misses an opportunity to indict Jack's privilege as a white man or to point out that he is not her "real" parent (Lauren's first husband died when she was a baby) while working on the annoying older one Hippie friend clings (Chris Fisher as Billy) She's invited. Noah's own friend is expressly absent.

Papa complains about the less than luxury rental car they pick up at the airport, but then he has secretly cut corners on the travel budget. (It's not that it's just cheap: Although he neglected to tell her, Lauren accidentally discovers that he just lost his job due to an oil pipeline scandal.) Indeed, Jack has the expensive "Safari." “Part of their safari excursion not booked. So they leave the resort the next day for a "self-guided" tour through the nearby national park, which is hardly recommended. They also evade registration at the entrance gate, leaving park rangers unaware of their identity, medical issues, or itinerary. This is just one terrible mistake among many who can quickly leave the family stuck in the middle of a scorching hotspot with no guide, water, or cell service. Two of them were wounded and their car was turned over by an angry rhino. Diabetic Lauren's insulin supply is another victim. So the only two fully functional passengers, Noah and Billy, set out on foot to get help. Again, this turns out to be a very bad idea, as one party is excluded from an animal attack, which is the only hair-raising interlude here. The happier group crawls back to the van, which has aroused unwanted interest in a pack of hyenas.
