I read someone said this was underrated, personally I was quite surprised to see this has got a 6.5 out of 10. The goofs list could have been so much longer. The movie is about some city people who's in the wild, and clearly, the director has never been out of the city either.
I especially like how, when Hopkins come running to see Baldwin, he just happens to have a fire with like 10 fiercely burning logs, which they hurl into a perfect circle, in the snow, were all the logs continue to burn as a nice flame, equal to all the others, while the one in the middle remains the same.
Also, I think it's funny how Baldwin got waterproof matches at a bar, matches that didn't suffer from a crash in the lake.
And when they walk in a circle, after a couple of days, they actually stumble upon their old fire place. That's a perfect circle too! OK, so the last is not a good, as such, more a sign of a completely stupid screen play.
This also goes for the poor story telling, where Hopkins just happens to see the blood-tainted piece of cloth in the tree just exactly as the bear attacks.
Generally, this is a movie I could have liked, it has good actors, and I could enjoy a good lost-in-the-wild movie, but this just sucks.
