Old wise one (Escondido, CA)
I have read all the previous reviews, unfortunately after seeing the film. I am amazed that anyone would give it more than two stars-it made no sense whatsover-and there was no ending or any attempt at disclosing a "plot". The presence of Freeman and Cusick saves it from being a complete negative, but one suspects they will do anything for a buck, Bad, bad writing. I'd ask for my money back, but I saw it for free and even that was too much.
 A real stinker March 11, 2009

Just when I thought some movies couldn't get any worse, along came this sorry example of a movie. Why on earth would Morgan Freeman sign up for junk is beyond me. Don't buy. Don't rent it. Don't even borrow it. It's that bad.

This movie kind of left me saddened because it didn't have a lot to offer. It was in the forest for almost the whole movie and the scenes like on the rock climbing in the rain was soooooo fake. Good movie in the end I guess. I liked the thriller and twist in it.
Worst Morgan movie EVER! January 29, 2009

I like Morgan. I like his movies. But this one, frankly, stank.
The plot was simple - father and son out to camp encounter an escapee hit man and take him prisoner as they try to return to civilization while avoiding the hitman's cronies, who (for the most part) are out to rescue their buddy. It could've been a good movie. It SHOULD have been a good movie. Unfortunately, it is poorly done. There isn't enough plot to justify the length of the movie and something about it makes it seem very outdated - like you're watching a movie made ten or fifteen years ago. It could've been improved with more exploration of the characters' situations, but that doesn't happen, either. And the idea of the government agent giving instructions for Morgan's character to be killed, while surrounded by cops - yet nobody overhears her - would be laughable if it weren't so stupid. I finished watching it, which is why it got two stars, but was sitting there most of the time wondering, "How much longer???" which is ALSO why it got two stars. Very disappointing.
Amazon Screws Up Again January 24, 2009

This is the third movie I've rented based on a trailer that has nothing to do with the movie. Of course, I didn't know that until after I had rented the movie. The movie depicted in the trailer is one I have never seen. The movie I rented then viewed I had already seen.
I wish Amazon would get it together.
