My Review-

Even though this movie was spoiled for me, I still wanted to watch since I first saw the trailer and this probably one of my favorite Liam Neeson movies. This movie is all about survival and and dealing with the harsh elements in the wilderness, and its done well. In a way this can also be some what of a horror movie with wolves that will stop at nothing in movie. This was also a good movie because they did not use a lot of well known actors, it seemed like they wanted the everyday man to be in this movie. For me what made this movie so good is that they made you invest into all the characters without knowing their fate during the course of the movie. I saw some of the characters that I wanted to survive die, and it sucked. The movie was also the right pace for what the survivors were going through. This movie was driven by all the actors in it and not just Neeson, and you were able to feel for all the of them and what they were going through. At first you would think a movie about men and werewolves would not be interesting or a watchable movie, but Carnahan did just that, he made the movie very interesting, and not that many people like the ending but I do because it left it up to us as an audience to figure out what Neeson's fate was because it could go either way. Another thing that made the movie for me was the music, it went perfect with the movie and helped move along with certain scenes sticking out more then others due to the music. I highly recommend this movie to be watched again if you have already seen it to watch it again.
