Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

robert23-1 After watching this wonderful movie & totally disagreeing with the current rating of 5.0, it was incumbent upon me to write this review. Yes, family matters and in the end it truly did. The father's love for his boys, two brothers, shone through from beginning to end. However, I would be remiss if I did not single out the superb acting of the two lead young actors, Nicker Eversman(Skyler) and Spencer Treat Clark(Nate), both of whom, obviously have been cast in other movies, primarily due to their performance in this movie. The viewer can't help but be riveted by their acting but their gorgeous looks & bodies, especially the one scene in the back of a truck where a shirtless young boy emerged!! Their thrilling "escape journey" along with the cinematography made this movie a treat to watch. You have NOT seen the last of Nicker & Spencer, both of whom have done some TV work. Congrats guys!!

maximusgrande Yup, comments on this movie are all over the place, so let me clear up a few things.This is a low budget Indy film. A fairly simple story, small cast, local filming locations. The acting is awfully good, cinematography is crisp and beautifully shows the Northern California woodlands.Is the film perfect? No. Is it highly entertaining? Yes, indeed. Is it a feel-good package? Not even close. So ... it is an uncomplicated film with action, but character driven. I am quite comfortable recommending that people give this one a try.

ignorance-crown Beware of Spoilers all over this review... Hollywood is having creativity issues lately and this one shows it. Lets make hunting season for humans as it starts first and story just evolves around this idea. This happened before. Firstly it doesn't fit its genre. It's not a thriller, it's not a drama. Second, It's just a movie that nothing really is special. A LOT of nature view, trees and leaves almost cover quarter of it. When initial info's given to the viewers everything pretty much goes as same, nothing really happens you wouldn't think of except the part that we learn Nate did it on purpose. You keep hoping that dad would slip and go berserk for the revenge of his wife but no, he has as Nate's opinion "no balls". In fact if you look at the facts while you are watching the movie you get the idea that this movie ain't gonna meet your expectations. Father can't get to his sons while he is almost 20 meters away from them. You say to yourself if he can't do it now, he will do it at the grand finale then something will happen and a crappy ending i will face. You get this feeling at the half of the movie and you cannot stop watching when you watched half of a film do you? I already said it is a crappy ending nothing more need to be said about it. I hoped you watched the movie before reading this as it's full of spoilers but hey, you can't say you didn't warn.

rightwingisevil was praised obviously by one of the persons who's either the director or one of the producers. i have difficulty to distinguish this movie's genre, a horror one, a thriller or anything else that i just failed to categorized. the screenplay is kinda ridiculous, a mayor's family could have such independent super power to put law and the execution authority to hunt down couple of young people? what era is this? feudalism era or dark age? i just hate to see dimwit producers or lousy directors of b movies use IMDb to promote and fool people to watch their blind investments. this is not a movie that you'd go back to the movie theater and pay for the 2nd viewing experience. read carefully of that review and judge by yourself.when i watched it again, i've found out something even more ridiculous: when the two brothers ran to the object they shot and thought it to be a deer, their running route was just ridiculous, they ran along the forest opening in a very wide big curve, the victim was lying behind a big trunk and thick high bush. so it meant that it's absolutely impossible for them to shoot that target from where they hid, and it's impossible to see the target. this is so ridiculous, man.
