This film took me by surprise. I expected a standard shoot-em-up with no deeper plots or motives as seems to be the norm these days. However The Timber is an exciting, dramatic, and thoughtful adventure movie. By the end you care deeply about these two brothers and their survival. Added to this are two female supporting characters who were very well written, and actually get into the action as well, unlike the majority of films where the women are portrayed as weak, helpless things who can do nothing but wait at home until the danger has passed. How refreshing this was! This is a thinking man's (woman's) adventure movie. Other viewers can move along to the plentiful shallow action films.
