I Know,I Know,two Jim Caviezel flicks in two days (probably didnt even know that Jim Caviezel was still making pics). Anyhow this one is ok. Its a remake of a 70's Australian cult classic called "The Long Weekend".I havent seen the original yet,but from what I have heard this one is basically a shot for shot of the original.
The gist of the story is Jesus and his woman are on the outs,she was a bit of a ho and slept around on him and he found out,but they are trying to make their marriage work,so they go on a camping trip to a reclusive area on the Australian coast.They were supposed to have two friends meet up with them,but they never make it.Needless to say the trip doesnt go well.
I'll say this,the film would have been a bit better if either of the characters was more likeable.Both of them are kinda assholes,they argue the whole damn movie....I mean the whole damn movie,so there really isnt any symapathy for them.Being that they are assholes and the title references nature,what happens is Jesus and his woman while out on the coast litter,kill a deer in a hit and run ,shoot some frickin sea cow,steal eagle eggs,and just other random stupid crap....and Nature kicks their ass for it.
The film has a few creepy moments,and its shot really well.But when the character you are actually most concerned with at the end is the couples dog,theres an issue....I will say this,the ending is a "holy shit" moment.Anyways,this is a decent flick,I wouldnt buy it,but if your renting some flicks and you need something to go along with "Couples Retreat" on a lazy Sunday its ok.
