    Stupid

    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.

    As they said in the movie, RUN!!! (as far away from this movie...)

    From the beginning, movie made no sense. There was no connection from the flashback introduction to the main story, chasing kids in the woods, running in circles (really they seemed to run in circles for 3 days) to try to get away and too many holes to fill in the movie. (why were the 2 brothers running to Canada?)

    All in all, this movie falls into the category of "2 hours I'll never get back again."

    Gotta get a rifle like that

    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.

    One coincidence after the next

    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!

    Wow. Where do I begin. Not good.

    Plot - weak, poorly planned, full of holes and questions, and well, kinda dumb.

    Acting - Not one of Dominic Purcell's best moments. Best actor of the film was the young daughter. Brendan Frasier is just a poor actor to begin with so casting him in an action/thriller is a recipe for a lot of good jokes and unbelievable acting. Its really bad actually. His panic'd yelling is really humorous. Like scared little girl meets Encino man.

    Setting was the only plus to this movie. Some great scenery if you like nature. That's about all.
