N P "Fierce People" uncovers the ultra privileged's lifestyle, through the eyes of a young outsider, as they disregard anyone else's well-being to protect themselves and live life as their own playground without a sense of morality. There is an anthropologic tribe through line that may be seen as misrepresented and may trigger those with references to R, substance abuse, etc. The story is rich with characters and events, as it follows a novel, and is centered around youth and self discovery. The film is well made, and there is some value if you choose to watch it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review pj m Great cast. Not just Diane Lane and Donald Sutherland, but also Anton Yelchin and Chris Evans, Elizabeth Perkins. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave s Other than respectable performances from Donald Sutherland and Diane Lane, Fierce People, despite a promising premise, really doesn't have much to offer. Instead of spending his summer studying and living with the Iskanani people in the Amazon rainforest, future anthropologist Finn, due to unforeseen circumstances, is forced to spend his time among the wealthy and powerful on a sprawling New Jersey estate. As it turns out, to no one's surprise, the wealthy and powerful are more uncivilized than the Iskananis. And that's the movie in a nutshell. Sadly, this revelation is revealed in the first quarter of the movie, which makes the final ninety minutes a bit of a snooze. The supporting cast is uniformly horrible, especially Anton Yelchin as Finn, and the script of filled with trite and often cringe-worthy dialogue. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review cees t Natural Born Killers and Donnie Darko are much more consistent than this random look at some rich psychos. 5/10 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is described as a commentary on the wealthy tribe and how "fierce," viscious the uber-wealthy can be, but that's a misnomer, for those of any class has shown similar jealousy and vindictiveness. Certainly the wealthy with their money can enforce it it more broadly with greater impunity, but there's a more important message afoot here: the lure of the security of wealth and how the wealthy can enslave those in economic dire straights or how those without money can end up prostituting themselves for security. Personally, I didn't find much to connect to here. Not my bag. And one last note, the anthropological element was handled with much greater humor and aplomb in Encino Man (now that's an entertaining movie) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review steve d I really liked the performances but the story was just ok.
