The beginning was horrible. The acting and chemistry between characters isn't there.
The middle got better. Also, when she patches up the guy they could've just started the call for an airlift and then she could work on him. Minus the risk of liability and lawsuits.

Okay, this was not one of Bruce Willis' shining moments ... forget the Nakatome Building, or whatever it was.
But, this is a decent movie. It was obviously a collaboration among a gaggle of movie and production companies, presumably so they could afford Willis.
No spoilers here, but the seemingly irrational behavior of the main character in the first half, will later seem rational based upon what's learned in the second half. I was glad I didn't doze off or let the WTF reaction stop me from making it to round two.
If they'd had any nuance at all in early character development, this would have a "great" movie. But, don't let all the negative press (esp Rotten Tomatoes) stop you from watching it. The sheer irony of round two is worth the watch.

Wow, three are some harsh critics out there. It wasn't one I would watch again, but it was enjoyable enough.
This movie had decent cinematography, and the directing was a mish mash in various aspects (worked well with visuals but poorly with the actors).
The writing/screenplay was very bad and had too many plot holes and was predictable. The story/concept in itself was not bad and somewhat entertaining, but was executed poorly from a bad screenplay and sub- par directing.
The score was either absent when needed, or atrocious when present. Was it some high school students on strings the entire time?
Finally there's the terrible acting for 2 of the main characters - the little boy (excusable as a young amateur actor but should have been cast or directed better) and Bruce Willis. Seriously Bruce, put some effort into your acting, you used to be convincing. That straight- faced smug look and monotonic voice is passé. Bruce needed part of William DeMeo's over-acting, of which made him unconvincing as well.
Gethin Anthony as Levi had the best performance, and the only character that was convincing. Hayden Christensen was OK, but not even close to convincing in his character. Also poorly cast or directed.
Considering all the "In Association With.." production companies shown at the start that were involved in this movie, I expected much better.
It's only a 6/10 from me.

The film crafts a brilliant atmosphere and tension, Hayden is usually stamped all over by critics for his acting but here it feels genuine and real. He has a believable relationship with his child and while not he greatest film in the world it provides some brilliant entertainment and deserved better than it was given.

- GoofsLevi is driving the pickup truck on dirt paths in the woods. Will is chasing him on an ATV. There's a split on the path and the truck takes the left fork, which slants downhill. The ATV goes to the right, which leads uphill. When the truck is seen again, it is traveling across the screen from right to left, directly in front of the ATV. There was no chance for the truck to get to the opposite side of the ATV.
