Uncaged (2016), originally titled Prey, is a Netherlands 🇳🇱 film that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows a Lion that has been experimented on that is running loose in Amsterdam on a killing spree. A local zoologist decides to help track down the animal and see if she can capture it after the police have tried and failed too many times.
This movie is written and directed by Dick Maas (Saint) and stars Mark Frost (Mayhem), Julian Looman (Emily in Paris), Abbey Hoes (The Hitman's Bodyguard), Ko Zandvliet (Boys) and Sophie van Winden (Leef!).
The storyline for this is fairly straightforward and reminded me of Grizzly 2. The special effects, much like Grizzly 2, rely on a mix of a robotic lion, CGI and a person in a suit...and you can tell. 😂 The characters are pretty annoying, especially the hunter in the wheel chair and the cameraman. The voiceovers were average and the dialogue was painful. The news reports did entertain me and gave me a good laugh, mainly because you couldn't take them seriously. The highlight of the movie is a worthwhile bear trap scene. Somehow a bear trap scene is always good.
Overall, this movie is absolutely awful and not worth your time. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
