While there isn't too much original content to this type of thriller, except for a few moments. It was definitely worth the watch and entertaining, although I found the storyline between the couple annoying and almost unwatchable at times. The suspense was fast and immediately resolved, which I thought was interestingly cool, but somehow didn't fully escalate to any big build up. It sort of reached a plateau and didn't go anywhere else. It felt like it was missing the suspense and build up like the suspense in Cape Fear or something.
For me, the best part was Casper Van Dien's performance. I felt it was a surprising and different role that he executed perfectly. Bravo! He was really great at playing the creepy dude. Unfortunately, we can only really assume what his 1-2-3 thing is. It would have been nice to figure that out somewhere. If it was there, I totally missed it.
It's always nice to have some Fahey on the screen. He always wears his roles really well. I quite like Chad and Poppy as actors, but I think the writing needed more umpf to really showcase their craft and talents. It felt as though the writing held them back and didn't offer them enough room as I have seen them rock out in previous roles.
There are some predictable moments, but it was definitely a solid watch. I feel like they could have up notched the cinematography a bit more. Really capture the beautiful scenery.
There was lots of room to reset the relationship woes at the beginning and perhaps have an actual decent pause to show a moment of happiness they once had, and then have the reveal to start the disappointment and relationship issues. A little more yo-yo action instead of the mundane blah all the way through. Even though their relationship is frustrating and on the brink of collapse, the script fell flat there somehow.
As the viewer, I was like whatever, just end the relationship please and move on. I lost empathy on that, which really disconnected me from the film and over interest. It began to shift with the second appearance of Casper Van Dien.
Along the hike, there could have been a lot more moments, perhaps a favourite spot they were at before and had a wonderful moment. Something really to connect the viewer into their relationship and the blossoming love they had for each other.
