NEWLYWEDS NICK AND LORI (EION BAILEY AND YVONNE STRAHOVSKI) HONEYMOON AT THE GRAND CANYON. THEIR GOAL IS TO TAKE A MULE TRIP TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CANYON. ONE NIGHT THEY RUN INTO AN OLD GUIDE (WILL PATTON) WHO OFFERS TO GUIDE THEM. THEY ACCEPT HIS OFFER, BUT THEN RUN INTO ONE BAD THING AFTER ANOTHER AND THEIR TRIP TURNS INTO A FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.
THERE ARE NO SURPRISES HERE. IT'S PRETTY MUCH MAN AGAINST NATURE, PUTTING MAN INTO AS MANY BAD SITUATIONS AS POSSIBLE, AND THEN SEEING WHO WINS. THE ACTING IS GOOD, THE SCENERY IS BREATHTAKING AND THE STORY, WHILE PREDICTABLE, HOLDS TOGETHER WELL WITH AN ENDING THAT YOU WILL FIND THOUGHT PROVOKING. THERE IS ALSO A THEME OF WHAT NATURE CAN DO TO US IF WE DON'T TREAT NATURE WITH RESPECT.
RATING 3 OUT OF 5
THE RENTAL DVD HAS A MAKING OF FEATURE, DELETED SCENES, A BEHIND THE SCENES MONTAGE AND STRAHOVSKI'S CASTING TEST.
