Critical Response
Rogue isn’t offering nature-documentary realism, but director MJ Bassett is a former wildlife presenter whose interest in the South African grassland goes beyond mere backdrop. Even though it’s a thoroughly entertaining action-fueled saga, Rogue still has a lot to say beyond all the blood and the bullets, and I can’t help but admire a director who swings for the fences the way Bassett does here.
