      Audience Member It was okay, but its such an old movie, that I'm not used to the lesser quality of the acting and filming. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It was alright - I want to know how they orchestrated the fight scenes between the cougar and the dog. That was the coolest part! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
