Stylish but barely mediocre overall

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It was okay. Understand it is not the movie of the year, but it has all you need to be a good film. Nothing extraordinary....but you can watch it from start to finish and feel good about yourself

Keep at it, Jason, you'll get there eventually. And your acting was not the worst thing about Braven. It was just a dumb movie. Dumb as in the audience won't notice all the stupid things we do. It was pretty bad when Dillahunt's character tells us "I think Joe's daughter was in the cabin and now she's headed to the top of the mountain looking for cell service. Go find her."It got worse when Braven dropped his knife in the snow as a distraction device and then climbed a tree from which he sprang on a villain with nothing but his coat.Or when he was chasing Dillahunt's character but first had to fill a duffle bag with stuff from his cabin; everything but guns and knives.Or Braven's wife being a master shot with her compound bow, but unable to place an arrow on the string at one point. Or using her bow to land numerous blows to a villain and it not blowing up in the process.You know, little things like that, and there were oh so many others.Ok, one more. The stupid deputy who comes to the rescue; advances in the open against an armed villain behind cover and is mowed down. Yeah, that's not exactly a new one as far as dumb movies go.

Great movie with everything you need to be entertained and touched; family, action, revenge, bravery, etc.

I'll admit, I waited to watch this movie until I just didn't have anything else to watch. I thought it was just going to be another Jason Mamoa badass action movie and honestly, from the trailers, it was made to look that way. Right from the start I was proven wrong. Jason Mamoa was obviously in his element in this movie. I have never seen his acting so natural and fluid. Drop the super hero badass, the big bad badass, this guy can really act! I was continually impressed with even the change in his voice. So much more natural. And he was not a badass in this movie. He takes a lot of hits. He was a man of the wilderness who used his knowledge and ingrained need to protect his family to overcome the odds. Something that anyone with those skills could do. I liked him SOOO much better in this movie and I hope he continues to do more. I know people like his big bad roles, and may not appreciate roles like these, but Jason, there are people who think you can be more than a deep voiced bad boy! This was awesome!
