Movie Critic A CRY IN THE WILD

Mark Griffith teams up with actor Jared Rushton to create a movie Adaption of the novel Hatchet. The movie is called "A CRY IN THE WILD". In the movie Brian crashes and is trying to survive in the wilderness.

Mark Griffith and his crew really capture how Brian is surviving. I like that because it goes into depth of how Brian is staying alive. I also like how it shows that Brian cares for the bear cubs. It is funny to see Brian try to fish. I really liked the part where Brian is fishing and falls into the water.

Mark Griffith also messed up a few things in the movie. For example, a few hours after he crashed, a plane came by. In the book the plane comes after he has a shelter. He also finds the shelter later than in the book. When Brian goes to find food, he goes to where he can not see the lake. In the book, he never goes somewhere where he can not see the lake. A few days after he finds the shelter, he builds a giant wall around it with the help of rope. It is very unrealistic that he just suddenly has rope. Also, a bear comes to invade his camp regularly. It is pretty unrealistic that a bear would come again if he did not get anything from the first raid. When he has in the forest at night, he was ambushed by a bear. When he stabbed the bear, blood came squirting out in an unrealistic way. Earlier, he was "hugging" a bear. That was unrealistic. Then, he got a bow and arrows and was a master archer. Very unrealistic. At the camp, he suddenly has drums and plays on them. Where did he get them from? Also, the tornado was not on there, it was only a breeze. Not too realistic. Lastly, he does not build a raft to get the emergency pack.

I would give the movie 4 stars. It was not the worst or the best movie I have ever seen. Mark Griffith could have made the tornado show more, show how Brian created the bow and arrows, and replace the bear with the moose.
