“Rogue” (** out of four) was a highly uneven war melodrama about a soldier mercenary (Megan Fox) who leads her squadron on a rescue mission in Africa to free hostages from their captors but the mission goes awry as they find themselves stranded in the African desert against a brutal gang of rebels and a group of ravenous lions. Starts off engrossing and intriguing but then goes flat; remains watchable through-out and jump-starts now and then but not often enough to make it stand out. Fox is unusually forceful in a change-of-pace role for her.
