Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Val Kilmer stars as Lt. Col. John Patterson, a 19th-century Irish engineer drafted by Britain's railroad bosses to build a trestle bridge over an African river, thus expanding the empire a tiny bit more. In Tsavo, Patterson is instantly hailed for killing a man-eating lion that had been making life hell for native workers. But morale sinks when a pair of unstoppable big cats devour more men and destroy the project. Along comes an Ahab-like, expatriate American hunter (Michael Douglas) to help Patterson face the almost preternatural powers of the two killers. The script by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) is based on fact, though the film owes more to Spielberg (specifically to Jaws) than history. There are also suggestive echoes of Kipling and Conrad in the material and characters, and there are hints of emotional complexity and psychological nuance that make one wish this could have been a great film instead of a merely fun one. --Tom Keogh

The object was in fair condition. I wasn't sure it would play properly. The box was broken in several places with pieces rattling around inside the box that held the tape. This could have happened in shipping. However, the tape did play properly. I realize "condition" of the object being purchased is a relative thing. However, I would rate it as "fair".

My grandson loved this movie and requested it for his birthday. As soon as we gave it to him he opened it and watched it right away.
Thank you!!

Two male lions kill lots of people. Sounds cool, and it bloody well is. The Ghost and the Darkness is, by all accounts, a thrilling experience to sit through. It's far from being a perfect film, and yet it's a film that's somehow impossible to hate, or even dislike. There's lots of animal attack galore to be found here, yet it never quite overrides the overall visual appeal of it all.

The Ghost and the Darkness
Upon going to a friend's house, we decided to watch a movie. He had a large selection of movies both him and I had never heard of. We just picked out one with an interesting case and slid it in. The Ghost and the Darkness is what we got. Surprisingly, this movie is a much better experience than one would think. The story is a little farfetched, but not enough so you feel alienated from the story.

most of this movie is filmed in the dark & you can't see half of what is going on. Plot was good but it needed to be a lot lighter.
