About this movie

Rayburn Swanson (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) understands loss. His only teenage daughter was kidnapped five years ago and since then, he has slipped into a downward spiral of alcoholism and self destruction. After his daughter went missing, Rayburn swore off hunting and trapping and decided to help the very animals he used to kill by establishing a self-sufficient wildlife sanctuary that borders the inhospitable Boundary Waters Wilderness. Now he spends his days drinking and monitoring the animals' activity with a series of closed-circuit cameras that surround his secluded property. His life becomes in jeopardy when Rayburn spots something horrifying on one of the security monitors; a killer, dressed in a ghillie suit, hunting a girl on Rayburn's sanctuary who resembles his missing daughter. Determined to save the her, Rayburn sets off into the wilderness in a race to find her before the killer does.

Id say this is a pretty decent movie. Coster-Waldau seems to work well in these thriller and suspense roles. Saw him in Headhunters - that was also pretty good. I thought the plot was a little weak around the sherrifs brother. There was a few things they could have done there to draw out his character a little more and make it part of a bigger twist. They also could have taken a twist a bit further with the sheriff herself and the two hunters near the beginning. A few scenes i did not see coming which is always good. If you like a decent thriller then this should not disappoint. Worth a few bucks to rent for sure.

I'd say it is an Ok movie. More than enjoying it raises questions about how a guy who is hit by a medieval arrow, in a Rambo style stitches up his wound and next day start fighting and wrestling with a big guy. And then he is shot in stomache, and after receivng treatment in a caravan he walks next day and starts fighting again. I can't turn my head around it.

I found this film highly entertaining and gripping. I watched it with a friend and we both thought that it was well-worth the investment of time as well as the hiring fee. The plot was believable, the acting was good and the film was refreshingly free from cliches.
