Must See Movie...

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

In many ways I found this similar Christopher Smith's "Black Death". A good setting but a confusing finished film (and not in a positive Kafkaesque sense!). This may have been driven by a limited budget, but poor editing is also a likely factor.Realism was lacking with little/no explanation for the behaviour of key characters. Everyone seems hostile to the two brothers, but without due reason. The enemies were just "baddies" (all straight up mad or bad with no depth of character) making the whole film unbelievable.The edit (not aided by the dream sequences) made it feel like a set of 10 minute clips stuck together.I like a good western... but this is one to skip over.

The Timber is one of the fantastic movie. This movie is based on Adventure and western life related. But Not only adventure, showed the toughest side of the life, how's that critical. As usual Anthony O'Brien done the great directions. He seriously focused on his script and that's honestly very good. This film is a combination of Western, Drama and Adventure. So all these combination made the movie more better and enjoyable! This movie manages to highlight the current craziness of the reality we live in. It's worth the time and the money. I thoroughly enjoyed the sarcasm above all else. This is exactly how I tend to walk through life. I'd recommend seeing it at least once.

This ~73 minute movie (not counting the opening and closing credits) has a fair few scenes and characters that seem irrelevant to the plot and the characters are all very simple and have basically no internal conflicts. They throw in coincidences, mysticism and events to simply pad the running time.The core plot of the movie is a banker trying to get two brothers off their land by tricking them into paying their debt/mortgage by collecting a bounty when it's just a ruse to evict them unfairly because the land is valuable. That plot takes up maybe 10 minutes.The movie gets bogged down heavily in unnecessary side plots and issues, all of which are amazing coincidences and none of which seem important to the plot. There's a father no-one seems to care about positively or negatively that they just kill at the end, a soldier who burns some screen time doing very little and then dies, possibly- psychic dreams, a cannibal wild man and random attackers all seem inconsequential.The only consequence of all that stuff is they seem to be trying to deliver the deep message of the film: random people you don't know are bastards. It's all in these convoluted coincidence driven scenes that I think are meant to be kismet to teach this one brother that really obscure lesson.

I can only give it a 5 out of 10 for the silly preparation ideas of traveling into deep snow areas of the Yukon. Didn't see much eating and too much drinking for cold winter travel. also for ... The flashbacks or forward hallucination scenes are confusing at best. .... This movie really lacks character building. They try to resolve this shortcoming in the last 10 min. not very successfully though. Nice looking young people if that's your thing. Also, there are some nice winter mountain scenes. Still, it was not my cup of tea. well I see a problem with layout of this review not letting a reasonable spacing of ideas and forcing me to ramble on to create 10 lines that just sort of mush into each other ... Now I know why I don't bother checking the reviews in this site ... I was really just trying to rate a movie that at this time has no rating ... and ... I am only giving it a 5 or 2½ stars depending on your format.
