Numb (I) (2015)
6/10
Decent film, if you ignore poor choices throughout

This isn't an awful movie. It's really not that bad. I actually enjoyed it. The acting was good, believable. The picture was just fine. Even most of the script was fairly natural. Sometimes you could easily guess what was going to happen next, sometimes it was a surprise.

The thing that's the hardest to contend with about this movie is all the poor choices the characters make while on their adventure. Did anyone check the weather before heading out to the wilderness? Did they bring a map to go along with the GPS? Did everyone remember to pack gloves, hats, scarves, a way to build a fire, have the ability to obtain drinking water, a shovel to dig with, proper footwear, even a roll of duck tape?....Nah! We'll wing it! 😄😄

Now, having said that, there wouldn't have been a movie if all these poor choices & lack of preparedness didn't take place. So it became necessary for there to be a story.

If nothing else, this is a story with a moral on GREED, EGO, PARANOIA, and what some people will do to others to get what they want at all costs.
