Jungle flicks should be interesting. Most directors know how to make them fun.
This director knows how to do it.
The story line is basic. Adventure in the jungle, in this case a safari after a white gorilla, but that isn't important. What we care about is that the people are interesting, and a lot more three dimensional than one would think.
Fortunately, the gorilla isn't featured that much. He's just an extra plot device. Yes, he's the goal for the men who pay for the safari, but for the film, he's just a device. The real story is the action and interplay between the characters.
The action and story flows very well. Nice splices of comedy, jungle scenes, travel, and camping. Smart directing is smart directing.
