Just perfect...

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

My summary of the plot (see below) should tell you everything you need to know about whether you should waste a couple hours watching this film.Lilian comes back to the small town she grew up in. For some reason she is being harassed by BLACKWAY (dun-dun-duuuuuunnnnnn!). Blackway breaks her car window (gasp!) and kills her cat. Why? We don't know until nearly the end of the movie.Lilian goes to the Sheriff for help. He refuses to do anything because it's BLACKWAY (dun-dun-duuuuuunnnnnn!), and suggests she go to a sawmill and ask for some guy to help. Wait, what? Okay, let's go with it...The guy isn't there, but some old guy (Hopkins) offers to help, and drags along his somewhat slow co-worker.The next hour and a half are spent looking for BLACKWAY (dun-dun-duuuuuunnnnnn!).They go to an old logging site that he supposedly frequents in order to "draw him out," then they kill him.THE END (oh, thank God)

It was ok. Nothing overly exciting. It should of been called Blackout because the lighting was so dark the entire movie, you could not tell what was going on. Bad.

An old man without a plan, a young woman without a plan, and a young man without a plan go into the woods unjustifiably confident of meting out justice to a psychopathic maniac. It's a formula movie that for some reason does not stick to the formula. We all recognize the set up (innocent woman terrorized), we all know what is coming (this one's got gumption and fights back) and we're all rooting for the payoff (cocky bad guy gets humbled) but in this movie, the payoff is so low key as to be almost non-existent. There's lots of driving in trucks through the woods, lots of old men telling tales about bad things that happened long ago and a lot of Anthony Hopkins standing around looking morose. Other than that, not much. It ends abruptly, and seriously looks like they cut the final 10 minutes from the story. A disappointing script for all involved, especially Hopkins and Liota. Their talents are not apparent here at all.

Pure BS from start to not-quite-middle. PLOT ALERT: I didn't watch long enough to spoil it as I don't like wasting my time.When a guy kills your cat, get a gun. When he cuts the head off your cat, get a GUN. He is insane. He is psychotic. GET. A. GUN.This would be a very short movie if not made by a Hollywood intumescent. Get. A. Gun.But no. We have to have a female character say. "No guns please, we're enlightened victims." The last shall be first and whatever the heck else you wanna put in there. Give me a C. A bouncy little C.Hopkins must have grown up very poor. A lot of English actors are like that. Can not turn a movie down. O'Toole was like that. So is Caine.Will I watch the rest and "be fair?" Maybe. I'm curious enough to know how BAD this is gonna be. Yawn.
