Cascade

This film is so trivial that the chills, the dialogues are trivial, the characters are trivial, every single scene of the film is trivial, the events of the film from the beginning to the end are trivial, there is no one thing in the right place, In addition to everything, a children's film is no doubt, because only from the 12 years old could they appreciate this film, yet if there were not all these bannality the film would have been cute but unfortunately those who wrote this story is perhaps still inexperienced Or he is not good, however a fatal boredom, I recommend vision to a public from the 12 years.

Two couples decide to hike in the woods. Near the falls they discover a crashed private plane with a dead pilot. They take a look inside and find a stash of drugs. One of them decides to take it as opposed to the others. The same time a ruthless gang gather at the same place from then on it spirals into a confrontation. The film has a very Independent feel. The acting and dialogue is very good and convincing. One of the gang members Cutter (Josh Cruddas) is one of the creepiest villains in a movie. The other Skip (Allegra Fulton) is plain evil. Sara Waisglass who plays Alexis is more or less the lead actress, highly recommended.

Alexis (Sara Waisglass) has a troubled family life with her volatile father who is the leader of a local biker gang. She and three friends go into a National Park to do some camping. They find a crashed drug plane. A criminal gang is also searching for the crash site.

This is a small thriller. The story is fairly basic. It's a smart teen girl trying to out-fight a group of violent people. When people do some dumb stuff, one can put it down to the circumstance. These people are not thinking everything through. My main issue is the filmmaking. The tension needs to be elevated. The action just needs to be better. The actors are fine. One can argue that Cutter is doing too much, but there is always one such character in these movies.

A by-the-numbers low-budget Canadian thriller about a bunch of kids who accidentally intersect with a bunch of killers. In the middle of nowhere. You've seen it before. You will invariably see it again. The only thing to make this stand out is Sara Waisglass, who stole all her scenes in Ginny and Georgia, and has a solid career ahead of her. Waisglass has a rubbery face, capable of many different expressions, and she sure knows how to use it. Also charisma. She is the "glue" in this story, she holds the attention, every time a problem develops, the audience immediately looks to her character for a solution. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

I liked it. Sure, it's not the best thriller ever and pretty generic (bunch of kids are on the run from some dangerous drugs criminals and have to try to outsmart them), but it's well done, the pace is pleasantly high, the story is solid, there's some serious violence, and the kids all get some background, just interesting enough to make you care for them. And just when things threaten to get repetitive, a second group of criminals joins the story to give it a new impulse.

The acting of especially Sara Waisglass is excellent, she's totally convincing as the intelligent and tenacious girl that's not to be trifled with. But I liked Stephen Kalyn too, he played impetuous, fun-loving Vince just as unpredictable and tiresome as it should be (and he's very cute to boot!).

I also have some tiny reservations as to the logic. Why would the criminals stand so much on catching Alex to lead them to the plane, when they could as easily have used the two kids that they already had captured. And how difficult could it have been to find that place themselves anyhow, the kids stumbled over it within ten minutes in the park!

But for the rest: well done and pretty entertaining.
