How sad is this?
Best movie of this year hands down!
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Jack (Brendan Fraser) is a tree hugger who gets himself landed in jail. He composes sappy letters to his daughter which are read to us in a low caveman voice. While Jack is in jail, his family (minus his separated wife/lawyer Lara Daans) are out camping when they run into a Steinbeck novel and become hunted. The film creates characters, but there is no connection to the viewer. The action isn't anything to get excited over. The main interest of the film becomes Kenny (Ethan Suplee). Kenny was in a truck accident and has some mental issues. He believes Jack's wife, who he talks to by cell phone, is his own mother. Apparently Canadian films has solved the problem of cell phone reception in remote areas.The cat and mouse chase in the woods seemed secondary to the film which was pushing the theme of Jack reconciling his actions with his daughter. It didn't mesh as well as it could. Makes for a desperation rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
From the beginning, movie made no sense. There was no connection from the flashback introduction to the main story, chasing kids in the woods, running in circles (really they seemed to run in circles for 3 days) to try to get away and too many holes to fill in the movie. (why were the 2 brothers running to Canada?)All in all, this movie falls into the category of "2 hours I'll never get back again."

Review: I really got what I expected with this movie. It's just full of running in the woods and some gruesome murder scenes which made it slightly interesting. The storyline was extremely sketchy! I really didn't understand how Brendan Fraser was able to find his kids in the woods so easy, when the baddies couldn't find them anywhere. Anyway, you do end up sticking with the movie to see how the whole running in the woods thing pans out, but the acting was pretty terrible and the storyline really needed some thought. I'm not surprised that it went straight to DVD. Disappointing!Round-Up: Brendan Fraser has just gone from bad to really bad in my estimation with this movie. He must have just wanted the money. The film looks and feels like it's made for TV and any idiot could have played Brendan's role. To be honest, it didn't really suit him, but Dominic Purcell was a great choice, along with his mentally disturbed brother. Any other person in the world would have called the police when they found out that there kids had been kidnapped, which was what made the whole storyline unbelievable. I recommend this movie to people who are into there drama/thrillers about a father and his kids trying to escape killers in the woods. 2/10
