Description
Wallace may have left Africa behind, but he hasn't escaped his past-or his strange plight. The past comes calling when a British civil servant, well aware of Wallace's crimes, offers him a devil's bargain: kill a man for queen and country in order to strengthen the Crown's hold on the region, and buy himself his freedom. The predicament? The tenacious witch Naïsha, who forced a lion's soul into his own. She's crossed the Red Sea after him, hot on his heels. But she becomes the least of show more Wallace's worries when her master, a far more powerful sorcerer, turns out to want them both. show lessTags

Husband and wife on the verge of separation hit the road from Brussels for the south of France on a summer vacation camping trip with their five noisy young children. Exceedingly mild family humor and drama ensue. It's not bad, but it just did not come alive for me, especially since it includes a framing sequence that removes any doubt about the outcome.
