Heatstroke Audience Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
jennysgervais The cover photo of this movie deeply offends me. The guy at no point does anything remotely similar to holding a gun and defending his family. The cover should be his girlfriend holding a gun...that would make sense. Instead shes pictured hiding behind him?! Is that supposed to sell more movies? Are people still that sexist? If you are then don't bother, this movie is about a woman and a girl. Not a very good one either.
OleLadyWho I watched this late at night and I was surprised I didn't fall asleep. But you know how sometimes a movie is so bad you just have to keep watching it? That would be this movie. Wooden acting by all the actors involved. Bad plot, with none of the relationships worth paying any attention to. Hyenas showing up at the oddest, yet most convenient, times. Hmmm, and they are in Africa and unprotected from the elements and the only animal that they ever run into is a hyena? OK, one snake. And I hate snakes, but that wasn't even frightening. Totally unreal. Did this even show in the theaters? I can't imagine it lasting more than a week before word got out how awful it was. Bah.
dahoser It is one of those movies that holds your interest but one that I'm happy I seen it on Netflix and not the theater where it cost me what 3 months of Netflixs. Someone said the couldn't figure out where they had seen Josie (Maisie Williams) and then said it was Lord of the Rings but she wasn't in that. She is in HBO's Game of Thrones though. Like I said it's entertaining but not a huge hit, I gave it a 5 but given that it was most likely a low budget film I think they did a pretty good job. I did learn some things about Hyena's, that both sexes have a penis and the females give birth through it. I think Maisis has a future in movies and they all have to do medium type movies before you start getting larger roles in major films.
patheticsniper (Spoilers throughout) Several times they are running away from a plane. It is flying directly at them, and they duck for cover just as it passes overhead. So they are in the pilot's full view until he passes over, at which point they duck for cover just as the pilot's line of sight is broken anyway. And it's not like this happened once, they do it over and over. Additionally, the fact that the pilot is always flying straight towards them from behind. If it were circling in broader and broader paths, it should have come at them from at least one other direction. He also conveniently turned around shortly after passing overhead as well. The only reasonable explanation is that he saw them, but is just messing with his employers by saying he doesn't.Otherwise, it was a decent movie. The tone of the movie was such that either of the main characters could have died at the end. Meaning they didn't seem to have "plot armor". I think at least two water-holes were skipped over, and the movie would have benefited from a little more protagonists vs. environment, and less of the protagonists being chased by the nasty men. The hallucinations of the father worked pretty well, as hallucinations do occur under such conditions. The hyena being (or representing) the father fell flat.
