Deep Dark Canyon (2013) Reviews
Tense action
An action thriller that has two teenage brothers hunting for deer in the woods when one of them accidentally kills the mayor who happens to be hunting as well. The boys happen to be the sheriff's sons which make matters worse upon arresting them. With one brother being released he fears the worst will happen to his brother so he breaks him out killing two officers in the process. Two handcuffed brothers set off in the woods which begins a manhunt with no intentions of arresting them just killing them. This film kept you on the edge with loads of tension. More plot is revealed adding on some layers. The music is awesome in this one as well. Violence is mild. Matthew Lillard is in this for two seconds and Justine Bateman is looking older in a weird waitress role. You'll enjoy this one.
Genre Confusion and Failing to be Creative
Beware of Spoilers all over this review... Hollywood is having creativity issues lately and this one shows it. Lets make hunting season for humans as it starts first and story just evolves around this idea. This happened before. Firstly it doesn't fit its genre. It's not a thriller, it's not a drama. Second, It's just a movie that nothing really is special. A LOT of nature view, trees and leaves almost cover quarter of it. When initial info's given to the viewers everything pretty much goes as same, nothing really happens you wouldn't think of except the part that we learn Nate did it on purpose. You keep hoping that dad would slip and go berserk for the revenge of his wife but no, he has as Nate's opinion "no balls". In fact if you look at the facts while you are watching the movie you get the idea that this movie ain't gonna meet your expectations. Father can't get to his sons while he is almost 20 meters away from them. You say to yourself if he can't do it now, he will do it at the grand finale then something will happen and a crappy ending i will face. You get this feeling at the half of the movie and you cannot stop watching when you watched half of a film do you? I already said it is a crappy ending nothing more need to be said about it. I hoped you watched the movie before reading this as it's full of spoilers but hey, you can't say you didn't warn.
a so-so low budget B movie
was praised obviously by one of the persons who's either the director or one of the producers. i have difficulty to distinguish this movie's genre, a horror one, a thriller or anything else that i just failed to categorized. the screenplay is kinda ridiculous, a mayor's family could have such independent super power to put law and the execution authority to hunt down couple of young people? what era is this? feudalism era or dark age? i just hate to see dimwit producers or lousy directors of b movies use IMDb to promote and fool people to watch their blind investments. this is not a movie that you'd go back to the movie theater and pay for the 2nd viewing experience. read carefully of that review and judge by yourself. when i watched it again, i've found out something even more ridiculous: when the two brothers ran to the object they shot and thought it to be a deer, their running route was just ridiculous, they ran along the forest opening in a very wide big curve, the victim was lying behind a big trunk and thick high bush. so it meant that it's absolutely impossible for them to shoot that target from where they hid, and it's impossible to see the target. this is so ridiculous, man.
Excellent movie
I really enjoyed this movie. Great cinematography that captures the rich colors of the Russian River, excellent sound track, good acting and an interesting story. I went to see it again yesterday, liked it even better the second time. Highly recommended! It's basically a chase movie, where two teenage brothers accidentally(?) shoot and kill the Guerneville town mayor, whose family the Cavanaughs pretty much own all of the businesses in the town and who were responsible for the sheriff (the boys' father) getting elected to town police chief. The boys escape from custody and go on the run while handcuffed to each other. The action is well paced and the story evolves in an interesting way that keeps the viewer wondering what's going to happen. In the end it all works out but maybe not the way one might suspect.
Exciting, occasionally funny
For his 17th birthday, Skylar gets to go hunting deer with his brother Nate. We can't see what they are shooting at, and they don't seem to be entirely sure either. Dick Cavanaugh, mayor of the small town of Guerneville, California, is dead. The boys do the right thing. As it turns out, their father Bloom is the police chief, so maybe Skylar won't get in too much trouble. It was, after all, an accident. Lloyd is one of the town's cops and, although he is a Barney Fife type when it comes to enforcing the law, he seems to be on the boys' side. The problem is that the Cavanaugh family seems to run the town. Every business seems to have the Cavanaugh name on it. Accident or not, Skylar will be tried as an adult. For one thing, there is motive. Deputies come to take him to Santa Rosa. But they won't make it, if Nate has anything to say about it. This puts the boys in deeper trouble. Survivalist Uncle Mike gets involved. He is still upset that Sarah is dead. Who is Sarah? We'll find out later but for now things are even worse for the boys. Nate and Skylar are on the run, but for now things aren't too bad. Tony and Joel are among those hunting for them (yes, I do mean hunting in that sense of the word; these are people who love their guns and believe justice involves bullets rather than a jury). These two are morons and for the first time, we have comic relief. But not everyone is so incompetent. Randy is in charge of the search and he is a no-nonsense, capable cop, who comes across like a drill sergeant. Fortunately for the boys, Eric and Ronnie are even bigger morons than Tony and Joel, and we really get to laugh. Finally, Guthrie is the biggest idiot of the bunch, and with the boys' father searching for them and hoping to help them out of their predicament, this turns out to be a positive development. For all of us. A couple of other cast members deserve mention. Jamie is the girl Nate likes, and she may be able to help. And Roberta is nearly topless and very frightened. So will the boys succeed in their efforts? Nate wants to go to Canada because he believes they will never see freedom if they stay around here. That's if they survive. There is a lot of excitement here as the chase continues. Especially toward the end. The final scenes put me on the edge of my seat. Regardless of the outcome you are looking for, I think the ending can make you happy. Moral dilemmas are a big part of this movie. The fact is that the boys only have a chance at a positive outcome during the first few minutes. After that, the only question is how many laws one is willing to break to rescue them. Morally right at this point becomes a relative concept. This is not a family film. Numerous words were bleeped and sometimes I had trouble understanding what was going on in scenes where fewer words could be heard than were not heard. And ever since the Janet Jackson incident (or for whatever reason) reading lips is also out of the question. I know Ted Levine best as a tough, capable detective in a suit who has to deal with a quirky but brilliant P.I., while here he is blue-collar in appearance and manner and quite convincing. But capable? As an actor he certainly is, but the character may not be any good at his job, and he is somewhat flawed as he makes the boys his priority. He even makes us laugh a couple of times. Michael Bowen doesn't have a lot of lines as what appears to be a sheriff but he commands respect and you'd better listen to him. Spencer Clark does a capable job leading his brother down a dark path, while Nick Eversman has the challenge of deciding to sacrifice himself for what is right. Martin Starr is kind of a weak link in an otherwise talented cast. I don't think Lloyd reached his full potential. He was mostly just there. Let's also give credit to radio host Cool Breeze (I think I got his name right, but didn't see him on IMDb). Every town needs a folksy DJ who knows the people and what is meaningful to them. For example, he says our thoughts should be with the Cavanaughs after their loss. There is lots of beautiful scenery and plenty of great looking bridges. We also get to see a nice modern bridge which just doesn't have the character of the others. And the guitar music is great. I consider rock music to be evil, but this isn't rock music. Not exactly. It isn't quite country either. Maybe folk. A good example is a song I heard at least once, and maybe twice. With the closing credits, I heard the words "birds of prey". "Birds of Prey" is in fact the name of a song in the credits, performed by Wyoming. It is quite appropriate for the setting and both the guitar and the vocalist sound great. Other music in the movie sounds similar. It's a worthy effort.
