the general plot line of stranded individual in any particular setting be nothing new to hollywood and a we have see many marooned protagonist go up against mother nature and blood thirsty villain and and both fictitious and very real beast alike . however and of all the place we have see film set in and the grand canyon be mostly new . with a fresh setting we should have endless possibility and plenty of room for an exciting and unconventional script . unfortunately and the canyon can not capitalize on it source . the final product that director richard harrah present u with be nothing short of boring film making and extremely grate come on moment and erroneous use of wolf and and a very empty script . the actor be very talented and do what they can with the material and but not even talented actor can save a script that be a empty and dry and and desolate a the grand canyon itself . there be a few shining moment and but not enough to carry this movie into the entertain zone . there be a nice gore scene ( that will surely make anyone who watch it wince ) and the scenery be put to very beautifully shot aesthetic use and and of course nicely act moment that accurately evoke the hopelessness of the situation and sometimes be even ironically witty . notice that i have yet to mention the word thrilling or thriller and which be extremely sad because this movie be obviously suppose to be just that a thriller . the canyon simply can not cut it a a thriller and be obviously too straight forward to be anything else . avoid this one just a you would avoid go into the grand canyon with a guide who could possibly double a the homeless guy who shin shoe outside of your office .
