Wow. God damn...WOW. This was an absolutely oven-fresh take on the survival genre. I threw it on while only knowing it had a 94% on RT and that it was a "thriller". I assumed it was just another wilderness-survival-oh-no-a-wolf movie and almost looked elsewhere. Shortly after that things got really fucking interesting and I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing. I'll just say one thing: in the words of former NY Jet Bart Scott, POETIC JUSTICE
I gotta be honest, I can appreciate the legacy of this one, and what it helped pioneer. I can also appreciate and enjoy a slow burn, but this was a VERY slow burn. It pushed past my tolerance for that style by a country mile. I have to personally thank this movie for giving us Brian De Palma's Blow Out, of which I enjoyed sooo much more. Maybe I'm just a De Palma Stan idk.
