Shout at the Devil is a great adventure with lots of explosions and intrigue and hints of war. However, the way colonialism and other sensitive issues are handled shows that there is a big difference between even the attitudes of 1976 and the present.
Despite its interesting premise, the movie -- a graceless and lurching mix of brutal drama (dead babies!), lowbrow humor (Marvin drunk again!) and general daftness (Moore in blackface!) -- runs out of steam long before its bruising 150 minutes are up.
Adapted from one of the most popular novelists in Wilbur Smith, Shout at the Devli puts our protagonists in wildly dangerous situations, in which they have to survive everything from crocodiles to the Germans
