Predictable adventure yarn
14 January 2001 | by (Broken Bow, Oklahoma) – See all my reviews

Why can't Hollywood come up with something besides the same old stuff that plays out exactly as you know it will? Every cliche in the "boy lost in the wilderness" tale was brought out, dusted off, and run a little deeper into the turf. This kid was supposed to have had training in the survival arts, but he didn't have a clue as to the first rule when lost...stay put. He just kept walking farther and farther away from his rescuers while mom and pop were at home wringing their hands in agony. Of course, there was another of those idiotic wolf attacks. Enough with the wolf attacks!
