OUR RATING: ★★½

Story:

Action survival thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur. Beast (2022) follows Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba), a recently widowed husband who returns to South Africa, where he first met his wife, on a long-planned trip with his daughters, Meredith and Norah (Iyana Halley and Leah Sava Jeffries), to a game reserve managed by Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley), an old family friend and wildlife biologist. But what begins as a journey of healing turns into a fight for survival when a massive rogue lion, a survivor of blood-thirsty poachers, who now sees all humans as the enemy, begins stalking them.

Best Quotes


 

Pilot: Is this your first time in South Africa?
Dr. Nate Samuels: No. No, but it was another lifetime.


 

Norah Samuels: My eyes are sweating. Everything is sweating. My spleen is sweating.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Your spleen?
Norah Samuels: The sweat on my spleen is sweating. Oh, my gosh. Heinously hot. I’m melting, Mare. Stuff’s got to breathe.


 

Norah Samuels: [referring to Martin] Dad, are you sure he’s coming?
Dr. Nate Samuels: Well, I hope so, because an Uber would take a long time to get here.


 

Martin Battles: Yeah. Safari’s big business. A lot of pressure on all sides. One way or another, everyone depends on the animals for their survival.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: So, you got everything you need?
Meredith Samuels: I was the one who packed your suitcase, Dad.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Yes, you did. Yes, you did. So, did I get everything I need?


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: If you got a problem, just say it.
Meredith Samuels: My problem is that in the last ten minutes, Martin just showed more interest in my photography than you have in the last year.
Dr. Nate Samuels: What?
Meredith Samuels: Which is the same amount of time that you showed our mother in the last year of her life.


 

Meredith Samuels: She got sick. And you missed it, because you had already left us.
Dr. Nate Samuels: No, no, no. No, it’s not what happened. I tried. Your mother and I, we mutually agreed to separate, and then she got sick.


 

Martin Battles: I got us another bottle before we can’t stand up.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Ah. Always thinking ahead. That’s what I like about you. Okay.
Martin Battles: In a pinch, I have been known, on occasion, when necessary, to crawl around my house on all fours looking for another bottle.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: Why didn’t you come to the funeral?
Martin Battles: Okay. Honestly?
Dr. Nate Samuels: Yeah. Why?
Martin Battles: I didn’t want to see her buried in a concrete plot in New York City. I couldn’t stomach it, and I didn’t think that that’s what she would’ve wanted, either. Maybe we should just agree to leave it at that.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: What I wouldn’t do to fight with that woman just one more time. Now my wife’s gone. Mare’s gone. Norah is hanging on by a thread. See, I missed all the signs. I missed all the signs of my marriage. I missed the signs of my kids. And I missed the signs of her cancer.
Martin Battles: That’s not your fault. That’s not how it works.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: I’m a doctor, and I know what death looks like. And I know that death walked up the steps to where my kids and my wife were sleeping, knocked on the door, and guess what. I wasn’t home. I wasn’t home to look it in the eye and say, “No. No, you can’t take her.” I failed those kids. Do you understand? It’s why we’re here.


 

Martin Battles: Stop beating yourself up, Nate. This cancer was always going to kill her. Nothing you could do.
Dr. Nate Samuels: I wasn’t there, man. I wasn’t there.


 

Meredith Samuels: Where are we heading?
Martin Battles: To see some of the most incredible creatures on the planet, hopefully.

 

'This lion's gone rogue because they killed his pride, and now he's coming after all of us.' - Martin Battles (Beast) Click To Tweet

 

Norah and Meredith: [singing] We got Milkshake Mare. We got Mini Nugget Norah. We got McDouble Martin. And Super size Nugget Nate.


 

Martin Battles: See, the way it works with lions is the females do the hunting, and the males protect the pride.
Meredith Samuels: Well, protect them from what?
Martin Battles: Usually from other lions.


 

Martin Battles: Any lion from outside the family comes into their territory, Kuda and Kawe will leap onto it, start ripping it apart limb from limb, or die trying. It’s the law of the jungle, guys. It’s the only law that matters out here.


 

Martin Battles: You know, just hug a lion and take a picture with Mare.
Meredith Samuels: My dad’s not much of a hugger.
Martin Battles: No?
Meredith Samuels: No. More of a fist bumper.
Dr. Nate Samuels: I am a hugger.


 

Martin Battles: It’s getting worse and worse. The poachers used to just be after the elephants and the rhinos. Now they’re actively going after the lions.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Why?
Martin Battles: They sell the teeth, the claws, even the bones on the black market.
Meredith Samuels: That’s horrible.

 

'I do not know how to hot-wire a car. I went to medical school.' - Dr. Nate Samuels, 'Well, you should've double-majored or something.' - Norah Samuels (Beast) Click To Tweet

 

Norah Samuels: So, are you some kind of an anti-poacher?
Martin Battles: I mean, we’re just trying to protect the animals in every sense.


 

Norah Samuels: Do you think Uncle Martin kills poachers?
Meredith Samuels: What do you think, Miss Know-It-All?
Norah Samuels: But that’s what the article said anti-poachers do.


 

Meredith Samuels: Does that frighten you?
Norah Samuels: No. I have a rainbow of emotions at my disposal, Mare.
Meredith Samuels: Well, you look scared to me, Norah.
Norah Samuels: I’m not scared, Mare.


 

Martin Battles: Nate, go back to the girls.
Dr. Nate Samuels: What?
Martin Battles: Go back to the girls right now. Don’t let them come in here!


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: [referring to the people killed] What did this?
Martin Battles: Only thing that makes any sense is a lion. But cats don’t do this, you know?
Dr. Nate Samuels: What?
Martin Battles: Lions don’t do this. I’ve heard stories, but no lion that I’ve ever seen.


 

Martin Battles: Okay, this is bad. With this much blood, there should be hyenas around already.
Dr. Nate Samuels: What does that mean?
Martin Battles: It means that whatever did this is…
Dr. Nate Samuels: Still out there? Huh?
Martin Battles: I’m going to get the gun. Go get the girls.


 

Mutende: Diabolo.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Okay, what’s he saying?
Martin Battles: Diabolo, it means devil.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: Uncle Martin’s out there. See if you can find someone on the radio.
Meredith Samuels: Okay, but Martin said that we’re out of range here.
Dr. Nate Samuels: I don’t care what Martin said. Try.


 

Norah Samuels: Are we trapped here?
Dr. Nate Samuels: No. No, Norah, we’re not trapped here, okay? Someone will find us. Someone will come by.
Meredith Samuels: We don’t know that.


 

Norah Samuels: What if that thing isn’t gone? It could still be out here.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Meredith Samuels: No, she’s right.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Wait. No, no, no, no, no.
Meredith Samuels: No, but we didn’t get very far, Dad. It could still be out there.

 

'You led that thing into their pride land. Rules of the jungle. You knew that the other lions would kill him to protect their pride.' - Meredith Samuels, 'I was just trying to save my girls.' - Dr. Nate Samuels (Beast) Click To Tweet

 

Dr. Nate Samuels: [over radio] What happened, man? Did you get attacked?
Martin Battles: I’m in a bad way, bro.
Dr. Nate Samuels: You’re in a bad way? What happened? What kind of condition you in?
Martin Battles: The lion just came out of nowhere, you know? And I can’t stand. My leg’s torn up. I’m losing too much blood. I think I’m going to pass out.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: [over radio] Hey, man, I don’t know what to do right now. Okay? I don’t know what to do.
Martin Battles: Okay, you want to just stay there. Someone will come.

Dr. Nate Samuels: [to Martin, over radio] You’re not going to like me for this, man, but I need you to heat that knife as hot as it can get. It needs to be as hot as Hades, man.

Martin Battles: He’s staring right at me.
Dr. Nate Samuels: The lion is staring right at you? Why would he do that?


 

Martin Battles: [over radio] The son of a b**ch is staring right at me.
Meredith Samuels: Dad, we have to go and get him now!
Dr. Nate Samuels: That doesn’t sound right, man. What’s going on? That doesn’t sound natural.
Martin Battles: If I didn’t know any better, I’d say I’m the bait.
Dr. Nate Samuels: We got to come get you, man. If you stay by there, you’re going to die.


 

Martin Battles: We’re in his territory now.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: [over radio] Martin, I can’t leave you out there, buddy. No way.

Dr. Nate Samuels: No, I have no idea.
Meredith Samuels: I know how.
Norah Samuels: How do you know how to put it together?
Meredith Samuels: Because I paid attention when Banji assembled it earlier.
Dr. Nate Samuels: It can’t be that hard.
Norah Samuels: Did you, now?


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: [over radio] We have the trank rifle. If we shoot this thing, it might just buy us some time to come get you.
Martin Battles: No. No, no, no. That’s a terrible idea.


 

Martin Battles: [over radio] The lion’s moved off. I do not have eyes on the lion. He’s wandered off.
Dr. Nate Samuels: What?


 

Martin Battles: [over radio] You’re only going to have one shot, man, but if you can hit it, it should buy us a couple hours, yeah.
Dr. Nate Samuels: I got it. We’re not going to leave you there, okay? We just can’t do that.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: Mare, what the hell are you doing?

Dr. Nate Samuels: Get back in the car right now.
Meredith Samuels: No, we have to do something, or he’s going to die.


 

Meredith Samuels: [over radio] What happened to the lion?
Dr. Nate Samuels: Your sister stuck a dart in his a**.
Meredith Samuels: She did?
Dr. Nate Samuels: Yeah, she sure did.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: Alright, it’s not perfect but will do. Are your hands clean?
Norah Samuels: Definitely not.


 

Meredith Samuels: Norah, are you sure you put a dart in that thing?
Norah Samuels: What?
Meredith Samuels: Oh, God.
Norah Samuels: Yes!


 

Meredith Samuels: Dad, the tranquilizer’s wearing off already.

Dr. Nate Samuels: What are you talking about?
Meredith Samuels: How about the time you took Norah on that carriage ride and you promised her that our mother wasn’t going to die?
Norah Samuels: What?
Dr. Nate Samuels: No, that’s not fair.


 

Norah Samuels: [referring to her mother] I always thought you guys would get back together.

Dr. Nate Samuels: You’re home in bed, man. Warm, comfortable.

Dr. Nate Samuels: Tranquilizer didn’t seem to affect it much, but I haven’t seen it since before dark. Maybe it gave up.
Martin Battles: Maybe. Maybe not.


 

Martin Battles: Everybody knows that a wounded lion is dangerous, but I’ve never seen anything like this. Multiple attacks without eating its prey. Attacking a vehicle. Lions don’t do that. It’s like he knows who his real enemy is.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Meaning what?
Martin Battles: The poachers, you know? They take out the lions, they split up the prides. And then, well, now they’re fighting back. This lion’s gone rogue because they killed his pride, and now he’s coming after all of us.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: I’ve got to get my girls out of here.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: The radio don’t work. We ain’t got no water.
Martin Battles: Look, man, I can’t help you. Barely feel my leg. You can’t go out there on your own. You’re miles from anywhere. The best thing you can do is stay here and wait for help to come. You go out there without a weapon, it’ll be you versus him, and that is not a fight that you are designed to win.


 

Martin Battles: [to Nate] You’re doing right by these girls today. Amahle would be proud of you.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: [to Meredith] I loved your mom. Okay? I loved her with everything I had to give. I promise you. It just wasn’t working. I thought I had more time. Thought I could solve it. And now every time I look at you, I see so much of her in you. I need you to forgive me. Can you do that?


 

Norah Samuels: Why do they have guns?
Dr. Nate Samuels: Oh, they’re poachers.
Norah Samuels: Oh, God.
Dr. Nate Samuels: They’re poachers, alright? Whatever happens, just stay in the vehicle.


 

Norah Samuels: Dad, you don’t know how to hot-wire a car?
Dr. Nate Samuels: No. I do not know how to hot-wire a car. I went to medical school.
Norah Samuels: Well, you should’ve double-majored or something.


 

Norah Samuels: Please, Daddy. You cannot get hurt. You have to be careful.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Hey, what’s my name?
Norah Samuels: Super size Nugget Nate.
Dr. Nate Samuels: That’s right.


 

Martin Battles: [referring to the lion] Okay, look away from him. Don’t look into his eyes.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: Where’s Uncle Martin? Huh?
Meredith Samuels: He was in the cruiser when it rolled over.
Norah Samuels: Dad, I don’t think he made it.
Dr. Nate Samuels: What?


 

Meredith Samuels: [referring to her wound] How does it look?
Dr. Nate Samuels: Well, it’s an animal wound, so it’s prone to infection, okay? But the laceration goes deep, but it doesn’t seem to touch any organs.


 

Norah Samuels: [referring to the lion] How did he find us here, Dad?
Dr. Nate Samuels: I don’t know. He must’ve cut through the mountains.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: If we stay together, we’re not going to make it, alright?
Meredith Samuels: Dad! No. Dad, no!
Dr. Nate Samuels: Hey, I need you to trust me right now. I know what I’m doing. I promise. Trust me.


 

Dr. Nate Samuels: [dreaming of his wife] Where’s my love? Where are you? I’m so glad I found you.
Amahle: Everything is going to…
Meredith Samuels: Be okay.


 

Meredith Samuels: You led that thing into their pride land. Rules of the jungle. You knew that the other lions would kill him to protect their pride.
Dr. Nate Samuels: I was just trying to save my girls. I love you so much.
Meredith Samuels: I love you too.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Uncle Martin would be proud of you.
Norah Samuels: He would have been proud of you too.


 

Meredith Samuels: We get to go home soon.
Dr. Nate Samuels: Maybe we should come back for another vacation with the lion.
