Save your money for something good and enjoyable

One of my all time favorites.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The Timber is one of the fantastic movie. This movie is based on Adventure and western life related. But Not only adventure, showed the toughest side of the life, how's that critical. As usual Anthony O'Brien done the great directions. He seriously focused on his script and that's honestly very good. This film is a combination of Western, Drama and Adventure. So all these combination made the movie more better and enjoyable! This movie manages to highlight the current craziness of the reality we live in. It's worth the time and the money. I thoroughly enjoyed the sarcasm above all else. This is exactly how I tend to walk through life. I'd recommend seeing it at least once.

I'm in awe, this movie is so pretentious yet falls down the avalanche of cliché until it finally crashes and burns. What is good about this movie? Well, the actors are trying with what they are given, and the shots are executed at a marginal level. The story has been seen a million times over. The story was written to be in the same vain as the room, but with tired themes of the darkness of the world from Apocalypse Now set in the Alaskan wilds. Sounds interesting..... It would be if the script worked and if pacing existed, but no. About the actors, those poor guys! They had to work with a script that would have been better written by the high school drama department, and give clichéd lines to push along a plot that failed to execute itself, even though we have seen it a million times in other films. Stay away from the timbers, It isn't even so Bad that its good.

Though the two brothers are on their way to kill their father they don't seem to suffer any angst over their task. The banker's reason for wanting them out of the way-to claim the oil on their farm-seems to be an afterthought that provides some sense to the plot. The gunslinger who accompanies them proves both ineffective and pointless. The father could be any of three people and an explosion that provides the brothers an opportunity to escape some uncertain but horrible fate is more serendipity than explicable. The story seems to be about nature and the wilderness which belittles the conflict between petty humans, though ultimately it seems as if nature is about to reward the morally superior humans, though there doesn't seem to be anything morally superior about them. All they did was mouth platitudes that their antagonists didn't mouth. I'm glad this film wasn't any longer.

I can only give it a 5 out of 10 for the silly preparation ideas of traveling into deep snow areas of the Yukon. Didn't see much eating and too much drinking for cold winter travel. also for ... The flashbacks or forward hallucination scenes are confusing at best. .... This movie really lacks character building. They try to resolve this shortcoming in the last 10 min. not very successfully though. Nice looking young people if that's your thing. Also, there are some nice winter mountain scenes. Still, it was not my cup of tea. well I see a problem with layout of this review not letting a reasonable spacing of ideas and forcing me to ramble on to create 10 lines that just sort of mush into each other ... Now I know why I don't bother checking the reviews in this site ... I was really just trying to rate a movie that at this time has no rating ... and ... I am only giving it a 5 or 2½ stars depending on your format.
