All Critics (1) | Fresh (1)

It's a routine but hearty outdoor adventure story that's set in the rural mountains of Utah, in 1933, in the midst of the Great Depression.

It was alright - I want to know how they orchestrated the fight scenes between the cougar and the dog. That was the coolest part!
