The writer fell asleep while writing this and they left a bunch of blank pages in it, because nothing happened for over 50% of the film. The problem with most Hollywood films is there is no character development or it is rushed. Here, it takes too long.
Another thing that always bothers me is actors that are supposed to be cool and not look suspicious ALWAYS force themselves to look and act suspicious.
We've just seen this story a million times before. Older guy with a past and estranged relationship with his family get caught up in something bad by accident and now has to fight for his life. Usually he suffers from some illness, like Bill Munny in Unforgiven.
Then just when he is about to get caught the dissolve into a night shot?
They need a good editor to cut this down 20 min.
I was looking forward to a good Rambo/Cliffhanger type of movie and I got "Winter's Bone" another bore-fest, and an old man who could hardly walk, was pathetically weak, and on the verge of dying. Not the kind of action hero I wanted to see. It was just so annoying to watch Tom hardly being able to move around. I just wanted it to end...
Skip it!
