Fluchtpunkt Angola

Escape from Angola is a family misadventure set in Angola. It features a family of Euro-Americans (the Mallories) living and working on an animal research ranch. Some bizarre notions about solving all of the world's problems with African animals are tossed about early on, and the entire film is nicely decorated with some really nice stock footage of gazelles, giraffes, big cats, elephants and other lovely creatures. Eventually, a plot festers into being. The plot involves an encroaching militia of guerilla rebels and all four of the Mallory boys (including dad) getting stranded in the desert and wandering off in different directions for virtually no reason.

Pros:

Great stock footage dominates about 30% of the screen time.

The cinematography is not bad

The film is decently edited

Cons:

Acting

Directing

Concept

Script

Pace

In short, run, don't walk.

Harmless in comparison to American Pie, Battlefield Earth, etc, so it gets a 2.
