Although not an original idea I like the premise of the movie. Bears can and do attack folks. Things can happen seemingly at random- although not really as random as they appear at first glance. The younger brother, driver of the minivan, has a checkered past, with some implied substance abuse issues and is driving too fast, contributing to the flat tire, which causes the unplanned stop. His girlfriend, has not really dealt with her substance issues- and this comes out when the stress level rises. The older brother, mercilessly needles the younger brother for his failures. He is so self absorbed in his worldly "Success" that he has totally alienated his wife. His self absorption peaks when he empties his weapon into the female bear, even though the younger urges him to let her escape. A cold justice is played out, with many of these characters paying the ultimate price. "Frontier justice." Yes, the movie has flaws, many of which are in the production. But the characters ring true, and the acting is fairly well done. Not truly a bad movie, but as another reviewer has noted, this could have become a cult movie with a little more care in production. Missed it by "That much." 6/10
