Another low hit of a production where sense and mystery entangle and are drained down the "wilderness". The only positive feeling and joy that the movie brought temporarily was the smart dog that dissipated into the wind and foliage.

The acting by the "chief" and the "prey" were above-average, but the movie should have compensated the lack of logic with wild fauna, grenades and "tanks".

Please stop funding these awful screenplays.

This was literally the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The story line makes zero sense and does not connect. The beginning was long drawn out in some sort of attempt to build backgrounds so I guess the audience will sympathize with the characters but it was boring dribble that made no sense. Then there was a random scene in a bar where the two main characters get beat up by two other randoms in the bar and they don't retaliate but just buy them drinks. The whole movie takes place in a forest with them pursuing this guy with a drone for days but when new "cartel" members show up to help catch the guy they somehow walk right up to the people who have been in the forest for days already. Were the people just running in circles the whole time? The acting is awful. It just makes you want to laugh. Not sure what the connection to Native Americans is. Please save your time. Think some friends must have teamed up to get this movie positive reviews because this movie is atrocious.

Deep Woods doesn't feel like a contemporary action picture. There's no big body count during the opening credits. Instead we meet a guy through the eyes of his old college buddy, whose world is just about perfect. Athletic good looks, charm, big city career, gorgeous wife - and yet there's something missing. The view from his penthouse is just a bit too paved over. He convinces his buddy, a Native American living and working as a game warden on remote public land to guide him and his dog on a grouse hunt off the beaten path. Suddenly an action picture takes over and everything hits the ground running. Without the exaggeration that comes so easily with CGI effects, this film tells a story that feels real. Like it really could happen. It is. It did. Thanks to arrogance, greed and stupidity it will happen again.
