| Movie TalkJason BestDespite the odd burst of bloodshed and the harsh beauty of the landscape (Romania's Carpathian Mountains standing in for the Yukon), the brothers' desperate quest proves something of a plod. |
| User ReviewMarathon TThis film took me by surprise. I expected a standard shoot-em-up with no deeper plots or motives as seems to be the norm these days. However The Timber is an exciting, dramatic, and thoughtful adventure movie. By the end you care deeply about these two brothers and their survival. Added to this are two female supporting characters who were very well written, and actually get into the action as well, unlike the majority of films where the women are portrayed as weak, helpless things who can do nothing but wait at home until the danger has passed. How refreshing this was! This is a thinking man's (woman's) adventure movie. Other viewers can move along to the plentiful shallow action films. |
| User ReviewJose ELove the movie. Great story and interesting. |
| User Reviewchellebudd mThis movie was recommended to me because I watched the Revenant, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this film for what is clearly a much smaller budget without huge movie stars. I mean, the detail of the setting - check out that family's cabin and the clothing. So textured, dirty, and realistic. Everyone looks truly freezing. Would recommend this movie for sure. |
| User Reviewertsescad rI was entertained. It wasn't a perfect film, like, I could've used more action sequences. But it did give me the feels there at the end which I didn't expect. Actually my girlfriend LOVED this movie which I also didn't expect. |
| User ReviewConrad TSo I put this in my queue weeks ago because I saw it had Josh Peck in it. I finally ran out of other things to watch and gave it a try. For the first third of the film I was partially staring at my phone- because that's what I always do- but eventually without realizing it I was totally sucked in. This is by far the best acting Peck has ever done. I'm surprised that more people haven't heard about this. |
| User ReviewLaurie AWell cast, unusual western which is visually stunning, even if the story is plodding at times. |
| User ReviewKevin RThere's no going back, is there? Two brothers are desperate to obtain some money to save their home. Meanwhile, their troubles all began when their father abandoned them as young men and no one knows where he went. They take on a job and in the harsh tundra that may reunite them with their father and put money in their pockets; but the wilderness, and those that survive in the wilderness, stand in the way of the men accomplishing their goal. "Are you going to pull that piece or stand there like a cunt?" Anthony O'Brien, director of Perfect Sport and the upcoming Doubting Thomas, delivers The Timber in his second major motion picture. The storyline for this picture crosses multiple genres and has some unique components and elements. The acting is above average and the cast includes James Ransone, Elisa Lasowski, Mark Caven, David Bailie, and Attila Arpa. "What is that?" "Our demise." This was recently added to the Netflix online queue so I added it to the wish list. This was a unique western that has some clever nuances. This is far from perfect, but has some clever elements that made this worth a viewing. I recommend catching this once. "He came here to die. Let him." Grade: C+/B- |
| User ReviewJohn R151031: On a positive note, someone attempted to be rather artistic with this film. There are some unique and thoughtfully produced scenes along with at least two beautiful horses. Overall however, this film is a bit of a mess. The sound levels meander annoyingly as does the story. I usually save almost all films from this genre but I'm thinking this is not one of them. It was painful, especially following on the heels of "Bone Tomahawk" (2015). Reminder to self; don't watch again. |
| User ReviewTaylor SOverly bleak and depressing. The plot is pretty lifeless and the somber tone does help. It does manage to create the mood it was hoping for, but it needs some kind of story with a true emotional core to thaw the frozen surroundings. |
