Review Time: this film is good

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, environmental, cultural elements, time jumps and place jumps.

Movement; in short [because I will be discussing this again] this film has a better movement/identity to it when our lead character/role Joe Braven/Momoa on screen.

Back stories/Storyline: the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges and the storyline is good. But it really does miss an opportunity to be something better than what it is; basically without giving too much away for the opening section and more roughly I wasn't keeping a check on it, this project has two narratives [one with our lead character/role and one without.]

The one with our lead character/role has real substance and depth that needed to be given much more time than what it had over the second narrative which becomes the main focus [so these two narratives merge,] which as I have already said yes the storyline is good, but consequently predictable and the ending style is sudden and it could have done with some work, something like how this family moved on after this event, you know not much just a small sequence as it is; it leaves a question-mark which if they used something like my idea it would have given this film a more complete ending

Artistic visions/Action sequences: the scenery with sometimes animals in this title is eye-catching [you won't be able to miss them either with the animals or without,] excellent work here, tree cam [I went with this description, because the viewers are on this tree looking up as it goes from standing to falling] as it has been chopped down and the viewers can look down from the perspective of the character/performer's sight of their gun.

Action sequences; there are logging scenes and everything to do with this occupation, a snowball fight, weapons being used, combat, climbing, chasing [here is something for you to look out for; there is a quad bike being used in this film.]

Character developments/Performances/Blooper: on both counts the character developments and the performances are good; there is good chemistry/friction, yes depending where you are; is depending what you get. I mean everything I have said in this paragraph is true, but I should now point out this blooper and this is one of those kinds of bloopers that if you watched this film from a different starting point as in miss roughly the opening section or more, you really wouldn't know it that is supporting character/performer has a medical issue [I don't want to be too specific, because we never find out, basically if they would have specifically said what the diagnosis was I would have put it in here.] But in a nutshell version we gets hold that this supporting character/performer had an accident a year ago and his situation is getting worse, later on this character/performer tells us a little bit more about this accident.

But as you will see in this life-threatening situation, not once does his medical issue/problem show itself, even though we were specifically told his situation was getting worse earlier on in the film and on top of that is medical issue/problem showed itself when it was an average night, so you would think/logically speaking/rhetorical question if it shows itself when it is an average night; I am thinking it should show itself much more frequently/much more prominent, because he is in a life-threatening situation?

This film receives: 6/10, as I have already said at one point or another in this review; yes this film is good, but it could have been so much more than what it is; this project had a crossroads in front of it; focus more on the real in-depth substance, use the action as a secondary component of this project's potential or go for the action route and as you can tell from my review, which one they went for.
