Wild Game

Such low rating disturbed me. This is no by means "trash".

Well made, decent acting and least I liked the whole thing all the way to the end. Yes. It is another "hunting trip gone wrong" movie, but I liked its tone and did not feel bored. Recommended.

Movie started OK. But I just couldn't get past the scene where you actually showed the driver tossing a puppy out of the passenger window of a moving vehicle because it was whimpering. I stopped watching it right then and there. How despicable of both the writers for putting it in the script, the actor for agreeing to act on the scene, and the producers for actually including the scene in the final cut of the movie. I'm not stupid or naive enough to think you did it in real life, but this country has enough problems with animal cruelty and don't need it actually condoned in movies. Shame on you.

Okay, slap a cowboy hat on a couple idiots and instant cowboys! Wrong. You have one wanting to kiss another one over a cup of coffee for crying out loud. Hint: We already had a Brokeback Mountain. The acting is atrocious. Beyond awful. I can't stress how horrendous this schlocky garbage is. It's actually painful watching these clowns interreact with each other. It couldn't have been worse if the actors were deliberately trying to be an bad as they could. Back to the hats. They weren't even authentic cowboy hats. The only thing to keep a viewer interested is Allison, who is a truly stunning beauty. She can't act either, but at least she's pretty. If you want a clinic in how to make a travesty, all you need to do is watch the first fifteen minutes of this. Robots have more emotion that the morons cast in this disaster.

Wild Game was very well written and the scenery-stunning. The movie has great notes of comic relief and a strong cast. It was emotional and funny, with a fine twist of darkness. A perfect balance for this modern-day western.

A very pretty movie, loved the scenery. Didn't enjoy the good bit of animal violence (even though I guess some was expected given it's about an elk hunt). More character driven since the action happens towards the end. Enjoyed the banter moments with Banjo and Clay. The mom and game warden really stole the show with their brief scenes.
