Storyline

Joe Braven is a logging company owner who lives with his family in Canada. Joe's father, Linden, suffering from dementia, mistakes a woman in a bar for his wife, prompting a barroom brawl that lands Linden in the hospital. The family decides to take a break at their secluded log cabin, where they run into trouble from a drug dealer who wants to use Joe's business as a front for his cocaine operation.

Goofs

When Weston and Hallett have the accident with the truck it is night. As they get to the cabin to drop the bag with the drugs, the day has risen. But when they return to the accident local it should not be night again, because the sequence happens all in the same night.

Watch when you have time

While the movie lacks strong writing, the action is on point and there is a lot of suspense once the movie kicks into gear. The location this was shot in made the story more interesting. Overall, it was enjoyable in my opinion.
