like in so many movie of the past and you would think hollywood would learn this by now and make for a very disappointing movie and not to mention and make sure the kidnapped victim be alive first before pay the ransom . maybe this film want to remind of these basic fact in case it should ever happen to one of u . why the long walk in the wood and can a city guy really go through the wood without get lose . just an opportunity for some sentimental dialog that be meaningless in the end . i have to listen to part of the director comment in the special feature section and from the great move that redford have make in the past and ( sneaker for one ) surprise he agree to star in such a film . the director comment and reason be weak . the best part of this movie be the scenery and can not wait for spring to come .
