The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

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

A couple and a third wheel go camping in Georgia (the one in Europe). Daniel (Dean Geyer) and Alicia (Spencer Locke) are going to be married. Chris (Sterling Knight) is the dorky best friend who had an indiscretion with Alicia. Then one of them steps on a landmine. The film digresses into a "home break-in" style film that was way too long.The dialogue wasn't great. The acting was so-so. The character of Ilya was simply bad. The film opened showing us a clearly fake landscape that morphed into something real. I thought that might have symbolized fate, being controlled by a higher power...after watching the film, I think it was the budget.Guide: F-bomb, drunk sex, rape. no nudity.

PROS: To start off, the acting in what should've been a poor film, was in reality very well crafted. Each character was injected into the plot with so much finesse that you couldn't help but feel what they felt. The actors took on some deep, deep circumstances and they pulled them off phenomenally. All the scenes in the movie were so separate while staying just as significant to the central point. The idea of mini stories coming together to create one big one was creative and like no other. This made for an unconventional build up of tension, but it wan't bad. I liked the mini climaxes, and the character development that this set up created. But overall, I enjoyed the creative style of the progression of intensity and the acting which helped carry this dark film.CONS: A simple thing that one could point out was then ending. I enjoyed the climax getting us to the resolution, I just didn't like the resolution itself. The reason for me not liking it was probably because it didn't enhance the movie for me. The requirements for a "technically" good ending is to clarify questions that help inform the watcher while simultaneously not taking away from the watchers overall viewing experience, to leave a lasting impression, and to enhance a point at which the film was trying to drive home; that can be anything from self preservation, blood must have blood, or even horror is fun. But this movie just missed the mark on a few key elements of a good hardy resolution.www.chorror.com

The plot on IMDb sounded alright. It's terrible. I am unsure as to how voters have rated it 6.3? It goes from bad to worse with B grade acting by the lead female. Or maybe that is just her character, nonetheless it is poor. The one lone character with the dog and his role in this film is a role where we sat and felt uncomfortable and squirmed in our seats. Poor acting, poor script, just poor. You won't get that 2 hours of your life back if you watch this. Good acting by character Chris, who is caught on the landmine, during most of the film. I also love Dean Geyer as he is a fellow Aussie. His character and acting was OK but I still think the script writing was poor.

Well I must admit to expecting not a lot from this movie however it turned out to be pretty good overall. A couple of small niggles here and there but what movie doesn't have them? On with the review! Okay so the movie starts off as pretty much standard stuff, nothing really being given away and it ticks along at quite a sedate pace right up to the actual landmine makes it's appearance. Then the movie immediately grabbed my interest and kept it right up to the very well performed ending.The movie does a great job of keeping the viewers on their toes due in most part to the changing pace, location and fully committed characters.**Possible spoiler alert here** I think the only real disappointment was that one of the main characters disappears from the movie and never returns throughout. Not unexplained just a little too convenientThe final scene of the movie makes the whole thing worth watching regardless of how you felt about the rest of it.Personally I found it enjoyable
