Bangui’s Hyenas are a fabled trio of mercenaries from Guinea-Bissau, who strip a drug dealer of his enormous wealth and make a beeline for Dakar. There they get trapped in a near-mythical resort… and the blood is just beginning to flow in Jean Luc Herbulot’s kinetic thriller-horror hybrid.
Amidst the chaos of a coup d’état, Bangui’s Hyenas perform an almost perfect siege of a Mexican drug lord, and flee with millions in drugs and gold. But when they find themselves stranded in the Sine-Saloum Delta, a coastal river whose archipelago is seemingly filled with unearthly creatures, the Hyenas find themselves, and their weaponry, at a distinct disadvantage. “Freely mixes and marries the cinematic languages of spaghetti Westerns, samurai dramas and classic monster movies to tell an exciting and distinctly African story.” –Richard Kuipers, Variety
