Review of Askari

Askari (2001)
6/10
there be elephants
8 August 2021
Emma Crawshay (Amanda Fuller) lost her parents and moves to Africa to live with her uncle Joss McKinley (C. Thomas Howell) and aunt Paula McKinley (Marlee Matlin). They work in a national game park. There are too many elephants and their boss is ordering a cull. Meanwhile, they're fighting off poachers.

This is stuffing a lot of melodrama into a story. Some of it is good but there is a lot of awkwardness. I actually like the melodrama between Emma and Paula. The helicopter pilot is acting too creepy for what he is meant for in the end. The villain are over the top and there is some silliness with the story. Beyond all that, there be elephants and I like elephants. I'll give this a pass.
