Breakout

I think the storyline of the movie was decent, but there were so many mistakes it's impossible to list them all. To name a few: they were not smart with the windows. You can see cameramen in the cabin windows toward the end of the scene in the cabin. There are also LOTS of missed opportunities - one being that the good guy leaves a rifle with the bad guy after fighting with him. The guns seem to have endless ammo, they run instead of utilizing vehicles, and they seem to all be able to find each other in the woods remarkably well - too well.

I'm giving it a 5 out of 10, because it's decent enough. Just don't watch it if you're one to really pick movies apart. You won't enjoy it.

Just finished watching this movie. The few written reviews this movie has received so far are a little on the harsh side. Although this was not a great movie it certainly was not a bad movie either. It was stuck someone in the middle. I really loved how this movie is set in Ontario, Canada. I am from Ontario myself and so it is refreshing to see movies from home so to speak. The idea behind this movie is solid enough the acting was a bit weak even for a big star like Brandon. I would say the best acting was from Dominic Purcell who is best known for his role in Prison Break.

I rated this movie an 5 out of a possible 10. I was not bad but it also was not that good good either.

Plot - weak, poorly planned, full of holes and questions, and well, kinda dumb.

Acting - Not one of Dominic Purcell's best moments. Best actor of the film was the young daughter. Brendan Frasier is just a poor actor to begin with so casting him in an action/thriller is a recipe for a lot of good jokes and unbelievable acting. Its really bad actually. His panic'd yelling is really humorous. Like scared little girl meets Encino man.

Setting was the only plus to this movie. Some great scenery if you like nature. That's about all.

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."

The bad guys scoped high powered rifle was not to be believed! From the size of the muzzle, probably a .308Win. He must have taken at least 50 or more shots, without ever reloading, not to mention the five pounds or so of ammunition that would have pulled his pants down :>). Sorry, I'm a retired police officer and gunsmith, and couldn't let that slide.
