Have a thermos of coffee close by you as you watch this tiresome trash

Rating: 1/10 (28 November 2013)

What a load of crap! An irritable middle class American throws away his life by destroying all contacts with civilisation as his midget mind tells him, takes a gun into the wilderness (oh yes primitive man had guns apparently)and shows how dumb pig ignorance can masquerade as art if your cinematographer is good enough (and the cinematographer IS really good). This film is self indulgent garbage of a high order and makes one long for another viewing of the amazing "Mosquito Coast" of decades before. If this is the best movie that an ageing William Hurt can get, then maybe he needs to return to the safety of the bottle. Even the music score is tiresome and old, rendering the total boredom of the picture complete.
