All in all this was one of jean claudes better movies. the storyline was okay and the acting was good. i did think it was over the top creepy that the mom was talking with a 7 year old and a 5 year old about having sex and letting a stranger sleep in her bed, but maybe that's life down on the farm. negatives; the fighting wasn't over the top and we didn't see any unnecessary splits or leg kicks, which i think are essential to JCVD films.

The Trail
(2013)
a good movie to nap through while hungover
2 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie on New Years day. I was in horizontal hangover mode and vowed to not leave the couch all day. I wasted many youthful hours playing the video game "the Oregon trail" in the 90's and chose this movie thinking it would be exciting, adventurous and full of action.
wrong. I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. just a terrified girl that walks around in a flat part of the woods for the entirety of the movie, looking terrified. About 45 minutes into the movie I regretted my decision but could not find the remote within reaching distance. I was so terribly hungover and in DGAF mode that I just lied there and continued to suffer through watching that chick continuously stop to open her suitcase, take things out, put things back in, and walk 3 more feet, stop, open the suitcase, take things out, put things back in, run a few more feet.
It's a low budget film so I'll forgive the zippers on the boots and dress. But I can't forgive the fact she's wearing a dress as thin as a sheet but doesn't freeze to death like all the other rando white dead people that she keeps stumbling upon. I also found it hard to believe a bunch of Indians would attack a covered wagon and not completely pillage through the belongings inside.
the end of the movie was the worst of all, I won't give away any spoilers but I def thought to myself "wtf" as the end credits began. If I had had any brain cells left that day I wouldn't have been able to sit through this, but because I was basically a pile of mush from a boozed-filled night of NYE fun, and too lazy to look for the remote in the couch cushions, I endured this 90 minute marathon of lameness.
