There were so many familiar faces in this film that it seemed like an actors' repertory company, especially with one of our all-time favorites, Laurie "Lifetime" Fortier.

Laurie plays Sarah Gerard, a reporter from New York, who embarks on a vacation to Montana with her husband Craig and their teenage daughter Regan. At the start of the trip, everyone is sour to one another. But as the family is endangered by the antics of the crazed owner of the lodge, Tucker Green, and his equally demented nephew, Tyler, the family members grow to value and cherish one another due to the crisis.

One of the most interesting characters was the park ranger Jude Rodriguez, who came to the assistance of the family when he spotted a strange transaction between Craig and his old college acquaintance Tucker. This led Jude to ally with Regan to discover the whereabouts her parents. Sarah showed grit in extracting an arrow from her husband's leg with the composure she had acquired as a veteran reporter, covering international stories in war-torn countries.

The filmmakers were successful in developing a theme of family values as everyone came to recognize one another's good traits. There was even a hint of romance between Ranger Luke and young Regan. There was some beautiful photography of Montana and the spectacular night sky. This film was a nice addition to Lifetime's series that celebrates America's National Parks with lust, intrigue, murder, and deception.

Not much to appreciate on this one. Characters and script are too nonsensical and forced, and brutally cringy in some spots. The story itself is goofy and boring.. It's like someone that has no idea what western and midwestern state culture is like decided to make a movie about it based on rancid popculture theories. If there is a wilderness, then there must be evil white male poachers running around doing nasty schemes to make the world a worse place... epic yawn. It's barely watchable at best, but most likely you'll shut it off during the rediculous "road rage" encounter close to the beginning.

Whenever i see a movie like this, i realize that making a good movie is a real art, and that real art is quite rare. In this case, to say that it is not a good movie, is an understatement. Let's be honest, it is a bad movie, and it is actually plain terrible. The only nice thing to watch in it is the beautiful Montana landscape, but there are better options for that.

What struck me most is the very low quality acting, very unnatural and forced. This is parly due to the bad script, and partly due to the bad acting. The storyline is really simple and superficial too, which does not necessarily have to be a problem, but in this movie we are left with a very uninspired and unbelievable end product, that is embarrassing to watch.
