Description: A zoo veterinarian (Sophie van Winden) gets caught up in a grisly adventure as she finds herself leading the city-wide hunt for a monstrous lion terrorizing the Dutch capital of Amsterdam.
Review: Dick Maas mostly has movies with one word titles, filled with murderous types: elevators, canal divers, a child’s hero. His movie “Prooi” (which means prey) fits perfectly in this line-up, because this time it’s a killer lion roaming the city of Amsterdam. Where it comes from and why it choose Amsterdam, that’s a question.
This situation gives us some cool scenes, like when the lion enters a streetcar or when he attacks a gold court. Great executed scenes like this make this film so much fun.
Like all of his movies, Maas adds a big dose of humor to his film. The plot is absurd, but it’s a super entertaining film. And the effects are pretty good, especially for a Dutch film.
Rating: 3/ 5
