University of Miami psychologist looks into the case of a fellow faculty member, a primatologist who dropped out to live among the gorillas in Africa, becoming a sort of grown-up Mowgli, and who now is returned to the U.S. in chains, lugging a murder rap and important lessons for civilized man. Talky, preachy, predictable, and ultimately schmaltzy, but well-acted, with Cuba Gooding, Jr., bettering Anthony Hopkins in unexpected turns and spins and flips. Donald Sutherland, Maura Tierney; directed by Jon Turteltaub. (1999) — Duncan Shepherd
