On a trip through the African desert, a scientist is murdered by an arms dealer. His girlfriend has to evade the killers, protect the scientist's teenage daughter, and survive in the brutal environment.

Nick Schager

Film Journal International

A cheeseball B-movie about a woman and a girl combating arms dealers in the African desert that fails to generate suspense, excitement, or even unintentional B-movie laughs.

Cinema Crazed

A mediocre thriller with barely anything above middling basic stalk and chase fodder...

An uneven but entertaining look at the animal in all of us.

Taking the bratty teen genre out of the sitcom and into the African wilds minus Africans, doesn't do either much good in this Euro-safari female action hero thriller. Touching on surviving a surly stepchild as much as assorted villains along the way.

Heatstroke is better than critics would have you believe. It's not the best movie ever but it's definitely worth watching.

Empty plot. Boring premise. Zero action and just lot of well nothing. But wait cool shots of what appear to be African landscapes. The Hyenas owned this movie.
