Silver Wolf

I particularly loathe michael biehn for the obvious reasons, he's always a smart mouthed cocky jerk, a role he has perfected from birth and i've yet to see deviate from... other than that it was a decent film..

Here is the lowdown. A boy loses his father, and he goes to live with his uncle in a national park. Then he meets a wolf named "Silver". Unfortunately, he has to protect the wolf from a dangerous hunter.

Yeah, we've seen this before. In two embarrassing little kids movies, no less. Still, Shane Meier is such a great actor. He plays the main character so well. He also has great chemistry with Silver. I wish he was doing more projects, but apparently he's selling jeans in Vancouver. The other actors are really good as well.

Not a bad concept, and the acting makes the movie better than you'd expect.

Well, this is an AWEsome movie.Bein plays a pretty good part as the uncle and "Jesse" was pretty good too.Ecspecially at the snowboarding(if that was really him).But my absolute fav character of the whole entire show was the guy in the crowd at the end of the race scene.He's wearing a blue jacket and grey pants.He is over to the right and four people back.NO No no I was just joking.My fav character was, of course "SILVER".He was totally FANTASTIC.But that also may account because of my love for wolves and dogs.Especially WOLVES.

Beautiful cinematography, snowboarding, and nature shots are totally compromised by inane dialogue, unbridled hamhanded acting, and stupid plot developments. People who want to truly enjoy the Canadian wolves' place in nature as well as those who simply want to watch a good movie should rent Never Cry Wolf instead.

"Silver Wolf" is a heart-warming flick in the style of "Old Yeller", except the animal star of the film doesn't get shot in the end! Michael Biehn from "The Terminator" stars as a nature-wise ranger who has to raise his 16-year-old nephew (Shane Meier, "Sons of Thunder", "Needful Things") who just lost his father after a snowboarding accident. Together, they rescue a timberwolf and several bites and scratches later, the wolf gets accustomed to the kid and his uncle, while a gun-crazy rancher (Roy Schieder) wants the wolf's hide.

This film has nicely correographed snowboarding skills and good camera techniques. It's one of the very few films shown on the Fox Family Channel that I happened to enjoy!
