Jade W @giveemsomethingto_jade Aug 10 This could not have been more boring. See more Pat K @PatKast Oct 7 I thought it was pretty good and worth the watch. The ending was predictable with a lone Female surviving and all the men dead, just like the movies "Break", "Frozen", "A Lonely Place to Die", and "The Ledge". I'm also not sure how realistic the snake bite scene is. I thought if a rattlesnake bites you and you don't get medical attention within 30 minutes to an hour, you die... especially with 2 snake bites? I guess not See more Justin W @Loonsan 12/06/2022 I'm not a drama fan, but this is an adventure, thrill, suspense and bloody in the kitchen sink... See more 12/16/2021 Despite consistently bad reviews by critics I thought this movie, while not the greatest survival movie I've ever seen by far, was certainly worth watching. The couple make some stupid decisions to be sure but they are not exactly on familiar ground (pun somewhat intended). The scenes involving wolves were intense enough to keep me watching, and I was pleased not to be put off by some unrealistic feel-good ending so many movies like this force on you See more Mike W @MikeW269 04/11/2021 If you overlook some of the plot's shortcomings in terms of plausibility, the movie is a thriller as billed. Strahovski was the better part of the new married couple in performance. Will Patton gave the necessary color to his character without going too far towards the realm of tall tales, leaving the impression that maybe most or some of his claims were possible. The lesson was made more than clear: "Poor choices can cost you dearly". See more ronald h @RT44372985 03/30/2021 _The Canyon_ is a dumb movie about dumb people making dumb decisions, but being a Will Patton fan, I couldn't resist giving it a watch. Patton is great as always, hamming it up as a lone, grizzled Grand Canyon tour guide. Unfortunately, we lose him about a third of the way through, leaving us with two newlywed yuppies who look like magazine models. Despite my disdain for the couple, after watching them go through all of their survival agony, I was at least hoping for a positive outcome, but that isn't the case. If you saw the awful _Open Water_, you now know what to expect, except the lunch-seeking predators are wolves instead of sharks. The wolf attack scenes are ridiculous, because unless they're rabid or injured, wolves almost never go after humans--especially in a popular tourist destination like the Grand Canyon, where they're used to people. There are some nerve-wracking moments, including one in which the two are trying to scale a humongous rock wall and another really gory one that I won't dignify by describing. There's also a lot of bad dialogue---and the movie was actually filmed at a canyon in Utah. I feel ripped off. Overall, it's suspenseful enough to keep you watching if you're not in a particularly critical mood. And you at least get to see Will Patton. But the ending is so negative and cynical, you'll be angry. I was. I don't need this. See more Read all reviews
