Dad's Preview:
This film has a lot going on: breathtaking scenery, infidelity, betrayal,
survival, and huge, hungry Kodiak bear (played by the amazing
Bart). The fun part of this outdoor adventure is how pit pits
men against the forest of the American northwest. Do these
ordinary men possesses the necessary wits, patience, skills and stamina to stay alive
in a wilderness? Then, what happens when a massive bear finds their scent, and starts stalking them?
The mere
thought of that is beyond terrifying. Surviving the bear becomes
priority one. |
