Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Giving 7 star just because Tom.. this movie is kind creepy

Elliot's (Joel Kinnaman) life is in a downward spiral. He lost his job. His right arm is in a cast from where he belted his boss. Collection agencies are after him. Now to pour salt in the wound his ex-wife (Rachelle Lefevre) is going on a cruise with her successful husband (Shaun Benson). He offers Elliot a job at the warehouse as they drop off the two boys for him to watch. Elliot is not a role model father. He opts to take the kids shooting which involves a very extensive road trip in the middle of winter. Elliot likes his drink and he doesn't let driving get in the way. Events cause his downward spiral to accelerate as they get stuck in the wilds of Canada.This is another Canadian drama with the word "Winter" or "Snow" in the title. (Write about things you know.) Much of the film is Elliot bonding, or not bonding with his estranged sons...then the sons coming to terms with their father. The action picks up at the end, but for me the film was much of a snoozer.Guide: No sex or nudity. 2 blurred F-words.

Overall this story was very interesting, but it's definitely not a movie that will fit everyone's favorites list. If you're looking for a feel good movie this isn't it. The overall tone and plot of the movie is very serious and somewhat dark. It shows what lengths a father is willing to go to in order to protect and keep his children. The movie is very much so driven by its characters, it starts out slow but once you get a feel for the characters and what's going on it goes by like a bullet. The movie is fairly clean, no nudity, not a lot of violence, several F bombs but not constant and hardly any other profanities. minor drinking, nothing really notably "bad."Personally I loved this movie, I thought it had great acting, nice scenery, realistic dialogue and realistic motivations from the characters. If you haven't seen this it's definitely worth the watch.

A recently fired ne'er do well loser of a Dad has his two teenage sons dropped off at his place by his ex and her new husband who are departing on a cruise. The older boy is a sullen, whiny klutz, and the younger one is a scatterbrained brat (in other words, typical teenagers). None of them being very bright, the Dad decides to teach his kids how to shoot a rifle, and they drive up to a remote woods way out in the boondocks, even though a blizzard is coming on. The kids slowly drive their father insane (actually, he surely had some serious mental problems to begin with), a succession of calamities occur, the Dad has a psychotic break, and horror ensues.Actually, not too bad a movie. It slowly draws you in, and you begin to understand the characters, who are fumblingly trying to connect with each other, and form a bond. The father-son & brotherly relationships are awkward but sincere. The ending comes quite suddenly and unexpectedly, and it isn't very pretty. The problems aren't resolved and there are a lot of loose ends, just as there always are in life. We all just have to keep on, and do the best we can.
