It's insultingly staged and cheesy. The main investigator's eyes are WAAAY too far apart.

Very low budget and cheesy. There's nothing like a street drama written by people who know nothing about street life. For example, nobody actually calls them "John's" irl. My favorite thing is Linden on the phone. She always hangs up on the person. Pretty funny. Anyway, it's watchable, but competent directing and more contemporary writers would go a long way towards adding some much needed authenticity to this very, very unauthentic crime drama me

This is what happens when you take all of the money that ordinarily would've gone into hiring a competent screenwriter and spend it all on renting fancy houses. Where to begin... This is a criminal underworld where the bad guys are all Abercrombie sweater models, and their rivals are a group of Native American bad guys (all of whom come off like first time actors) who like to frolic in the snow and have snowball fights while listening to big band music. Super Believable! And then there's Liam Neeson who has officially taken the torch from Bruce Willis as "that guy who we thought was a decent enough actor, but now manages to turn out movies that are somehow always significantly worse than the one before it." And when the one before it was Ice Road, then you know you're in for a long day. For some unknown reason, neeson insists on taking on roles where he plays a salt of the earth American working man. Again, super believable for an "actor" who, despite having unlimited resources can't even shed his Irish accent enough to pull off American English. The enjoyment of movies requires the suspension of disbelief. The enjoyment of THIS movie requires you to drive it out to a vacant lot and leave it for dead. THIS MOVIE IS SO FAR BEYOND TERRIBLE THAT THERE'S NOT EVEN A WORD FOR IT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Liam Niesen should be ashamed of himself. To call it corny would be an insult. To corn. The acting is just horrible and I realize that most people aren't truckers, but there's so much just ridiculously wrong with their portrayal of trucking that it's just a REALLY poor film. Turn the truck over on its side? No problem, we'll just slap some cables on it and winch it back upright, without a scratch on it. Good to go! And Liam Niesen STILL hasn't got the American accent down. And he insists on trying to take on these dyed-in-wool, true blue American working man roles. I was hallway expecting him to ask for directions to the loo. SMH.

There's just nothing to like here. Every character comes off as wooden and unpleasant. Casey Affleck, for all his talent, doesn't quite pull it off as a psychiatrist. The daughter is a cliche, complete with enough black eye makeup to make Alice Cooper jealous. The bad guy sure takes his time getting going and Bridgette M is just blah. It's not that you want bad things to happen to these people, it's more that you just don't care when they do.

It's not often that I find a movie so unbearable that I shut it off before the ending. But then I stumbled onto this. The acting is bad, but the writing is horrible. The dialogue SOUNDS LIKE written dialog and in no way resembles how people actually speak to one another.. For some reason, in each new scene they display the name of the location and the distance from the town. While this works wonders with Law and Order, it adds NOTHING here. There really isn't anything credible, authentic or believable about this film. The characters are hollow. The drama is manufactured and I found it impossible to care about any of it. Proceed at your own risk.

Unwatchable. Where to begin with the problems with this movie? It's horrible. First off, the two beautiful girls maintain perfect makeup and hair, despite harrowing days in the woods. A gruesome injury seems to heal on its own. A bear runs around, attacking people for sport... Why exactly? When one girl gets hurt, the two ace outdoorsmen decide the best course of action is to move her, and not send one of them for help. Then there's the laughably attempt at chivalry... "I'm going to lead it away from you" where he cuts his hand and uses the blood to lure the bear. Except the girl was bleeding heavily too. I guess the bear just knew to follow him somehow. Then they tried to burn it alive (real nice touch there) and just like in every cliched movie ever, they just assumed that it all went to plan and the bear was dead. Didn't actually make sure though. Then there's the Scott Glenn character whose greed was just an unnecessary plot twist. This movie is beyond ridiculous and is insulting. Do. Not. Waste. Your. Time.

Words fail when trying to describe just how hard Bruce Willis phones it in during this cinematic turd. Some movies call for suspension of disbelief. This one calls for driving it to the middle of nowhere and abandoning it.

The story of two fifty-somethings who inexplicably have a 10 year old daughter who goes missing.

It's like OITNB, without the humor, realism or competent acting. Written by people who have clearly never been near a prison, or a class on how to write non clunky dialogue. And what kind of prison doesnt have cameras or record phone calls and visits? The cameras inside the prison can be turned to the wall with a broom. "Well, we had another murder, but we couldn't see it because they turned the camera away" "What should we do about it?" " Well, what we're NOT going to do is get wall or ceiling mounted globe cameras that can't be easily covered and marginalized. No. What we ARE going to do instead is continue to allow every prisoner unrestricted and unsupervised access to every part of the prison at all times. That ought to do it. Ohh, and we'll allow the prisoners to have almost equal footing as the guards, and routinely kowtow to their demands. See? Fixed it! Now, I have to run. A prisoner is demanding we allow her cake-with-a-file-baked-into-it to be delivered to her cell, and we have to hurry or she might get upset!" Ridiculous.
