Overall…stupid film. Everyone knows about the rogue Lion. The daughters make sure they do everything they're not supposed to do to rack up the injury tally. Eventually, the father finally picks up a rifle from 'one' (of many!) dead poachers. Doesn't check if it's loaded, or how many rounds the rifle carries. Knowing the lion is still around, naturally he secures it over his back. Why have it locked-and-loaded in such a dangerous situation.
Then, let's find a safe place at the school, and whilst there, keep as many of the once-closed-doors open as possible.
Farcical. I was rooting for the lion.
