Split Decision

Good day fellow movie goers...I literally just got done watching this movie. I will admit that I was a bit Leary of this particular movie because of others reviews and comments about it on here....surprisingly, I found it to be a clean good movie. I would definitely recommend it. Its nice to find a movie that does not have sex and nudity in it. This movie kept my interest throughout it. Its also nice because every other word is not a curse word. I am sure there are others out there who are looking for the same. So if you are looking for a good clean suspense-thriller movie, I would recommend watching this one. Enjoy!!

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.

Stupid goofs and situations, there are too many to list. This is a good example of an extreme waste of production funds. Since the director wrote it he clearly was blind to the numerous mistakes and nonsense situations. The bad guy is the worst shot on the planet. And the good guy kept shooting at a distant target with a sawed off shotgun. The topper was when the good guy fights with the bad guy and does not take his rifle from him and then runs away to continue the chase. I think the actors are not to blame as much as the director and writer. I think if the people responsible for this movie every want to work again they are going to have to change their names.

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.

Oh dear, where to begin. Sadly, Brendan Fraser might be many things, but a 'Bruce Willis' he will never be. What we have here - loosely - is 'Die Hard in the woods.' The former 'George of the Jungle' (aka Mr Fraser) has only gone and got himself locked up for protecting trees (perhaps he should have lived on Pandora?) and thus has found himself separated from his (not so loving) family. Then, if that wasn't bad enough, they only go on a camping trip and witness a murder! Cue Brendan Fraser deciding that that was the time he better break out of prison and save them. Because - and let's face it - no one knows those woods better than an eco-activist who's dedicated his life to protecting them.

So, if you think that sounds any way enjoyable or believable, go ahead and watch it. You may be surprised. However, for me, it was just one unbelievable coincidence after the next. I'm all far 'suspending your disbelief' while watching a film, but this is taking it too far.

If you like the idea of 'Die Hard in the woods' try a little-known film called 'Predator.' It was kind of cool. This, however, is not. End of. Sorry Brendan... but you're better off sticking to watching out for trees rather than protecting them!
