Wounded

A pretty good suspense film especially the beginning. It tends to lose steam, however, when Julie recovers and teams up with a retired trooper to hunt down the killer. All performances are excellent.

The film has beautiful photography of the northwest and animal scenes.

The characters are straight, the story simple, the directing efficient, Maybe it lacks a bit of soul to have made it a secret favourite, and the plot twist that gives Madchen Amick the role of the revengeful Rambo-like woman is a bit out of hand - but at least the final confrontation was kept low-profile, more accent put on suspense rather than adrenaline action - precisely what heightens the value of this flick, comparing to the neighboring action movies in the videostore...

When a pair of park rangers discover a host of dead bears they call in reinforcements to track down those responsible. Sadly they get more than they bargained for, one single man who is far more dangerous than they imagined.

Essentially at its core Wounded is a revenge thriller starring Madchen Amick and a host of faces you'll recognise but struggle to put a name to. Among them is Jim "Bobby from Supernatural" Beaver who doesn't get all too much camera time.

I like the story, I think it's fantastic but somewhere along the way the creators dropped the ball and wasted it. It could/should have been so much more but the finished product is a really rather boring little thriller.

It's movies like Wounded that need remaking, a film with a great story but was made by people who didn't know just quite what they had.

Damn shame.

The Good:

Great story

The Bad:

Really boring

Horrible opening

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

At no point did I care about a human more than the bears and the dog

Jim Beaver in something without him calling someone an idjit is just weird

while i didn't hate this movie,i didn't find it spectacular either.the first twenty minutes or so are quite good,with some action and tension.the last ten minutes are also good,again with some action and suspense.the problem is the middle of the movie.it's just too damn slow moving.i kept hoping and waiting for something to happen.there's a lot of talking in this one.however,i really liked Graham Greene as a bitter former cop.Madchen Amick is convincing in the role of action heroine by the way,is it just me,or could she pass for Kim Delaney's twin sister?anyway,the star of this movie is Adrian Pasdar,who plays the bad guy,and really well,i might add.his character is definitely very chilling and sadistic.unfortunately,the the movie itself falls short.my vote for "Wounded" is 5/10

This is a fairly good movie that doesn't try to overwhelm the viewers with non-stop action, chase scenes and loud, hysterical goings on. However, I do feel that the movie would have been better with a little more action and sharper dialog. For much of the time, the dialog was spoken so softly that I had to keep turning up the volume on my TV just to be able to hear what the characters were saying. The finale, where the protagonist and antagonist meet to resolve the issue is just as low key as the rest of the movie.
