Far from safety. Far from over.&nbsp;<\/em> (&#8220;Far from Over!&#8221;&nbsp; Cue Frank Stallone! )<\/p>\n<p>The Overview:&nbsp; Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jack (Winchester) and Lauren (Romijn) take their son (Johnston), daughter (Bassett) and her boyfriend (Fisher) on a long-planned dream vacation to a wilderness park in Kenya.&nbsp; Looking to get close to wild animals, the group leaves without filling out proper paperwork or getting guides,&nbsp; They then venture off-road into the Kenyan wilderness.&nbsp; When their vehicle is totaled by an irate rhino, things become desperate.&nbsp; Without food, water and with a pack of hyenas closing in, their chances of survival are slim.&nbsp; Things are about to get worse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Endangered Species<\/em> is irritating.&nbsp; The characters do nothing but argue and make stupid decisions. They leave the camp without letting anyone know.&nbsp; They go on a &#8220;safari&#8221; drive without a guide.&nbsp; They leave the designated road and travel into the wilderness.&nbsp; They don&#8217;t bring enough water and the water they do bring is in glass bottles which easily break.&nbsp; They decide to get closer to a wild rhino.&nbsp; They let someone who doesn&#8217;t know how to drive, take them to the rhino.&nbsp; Even the poachers who capture the family are stupid.&nbsp; Like bad James Bond villains, they tell the family that they are going to kill them. Then they leave the family unattended so they can drink around the campfire.&nbsp; What?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I made it through <em>Endangered Species<\/em> and it has a couple of scenes that work. I&#8217;ll give it the benefit of my kind heart (or am I, like everyone in the movie, also making a stupid decision) by rating it 2 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_d.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/2022\/z051522zview_endangeredspecies2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endangered Species (2021) Director:&nbsp; M.J.
