Could have been better...

Rating: 6/10 (27 August 2007)

The beginning: The fishing dialog was so unnecessary to me. It added time to the film that was not needed. I have seen it twice and still cannot tell you what they were talking about - just a waste. I realize they were setting up the relationship between the father & son, but they could have done that in a shorter amount of time in the car before the wreck.
The middle: I think the touches of humor through-out this part of the film were nice. I think it focused too much on the romance and made us wait too long for the thrills. A friend of mine said "If we hadn't been watching it with you, I would have turned it off. It was dragging out too long."
The climax: When the actual thriller part of the movie started going, it was pretty good. I think it was well done. The comedic touches with the friend were great.
The ending: As expected...
Overall, entertaining but long. They could have shortened it by about 20 minutes without taking away from the film. Actually, that would have improved the film.
