3/10
Runied by narration
19 August 2005
This would have been a somewhat enjoyable movie if not for Wilford Brimley's narration. Not his fault, of course, but it's so intrusive and filled with obvious commentary that I felt like I was watching it with the most annoying grandpa on the planet.

Otherwise, it wasn't too bad. The premise was (sorta) believable, just enough for me to go into fantasyland, imagining myself roaming the hillsides with a band of wild injuns... every suburban white boy's dream!

On a side note, it's just plain depressing to see Tom Beringer, an actor who showed so much initial promise in Platoon, reduced to taking parts in completely forgettable films. gotta pay the rent somehow, I suppose.

Don't bother unless you need everything spelled out for you.
