Yes, it's Jaws with lions. All the familiar elements are here: the too-nice-to-live sidekicks, the cynical hunter, the boss-man who cares less about lives than money, the unwilling amateur forced to give up his chosen craft to become a hunter...
Like Jaws, the cast is wall-to-wall blokes (there's only one lady in the film - Emily Mortimer as Patterson's wife) and, like Jaws, the killers aren't acting at all like the rest of their species. The rolling plains of Africa, represented by shots of waving grass, even do a passable sea impersonation, the silent lions cruising through the shadows like that Great White of yore.
