Sorry, I respectfully disagree with all previous reviews. This movie was utter and complete crap. It looked promising at the beginning, but quickly turned into a pure Hollywood predictable mess full of plot holes and 'wtf??' moments. The script is what killed it for me. It's like someone was told "make a movie, lots of action, and make sure to include the following; sexy girls, lots of big guns, hunting with your dog, wilderness survival, make explosives out of hardware store items, at least two 'save your buddy' moments, one that ended badly and one where you redeem yourself, shady conspiracy people in black SUVs, car chases, car crashes, and also make sure those same sexy girls get to use the guns too". I think this movie must've been a big hit in redneck hick towns where everyone is a member of the NRA.
And the plotholes. ugh.. I'll just mention the worst one picture two fugitives in Virginia, they kill off a main bad guy (that was protected by about 20 complete idiots, it seems, judging how easy they died), and then other bad guy calls you and says they have your girl hostage (another typical Hollywood scenario) --- and next thing you know, they're meeting via helicopters up in the snowy rocky mountains??? ugh...
and the plot twist at the end where the good guy gets off the conspiracy against him? "oh, you're free to go because your super quick improv demonstration proved it wasn't your gun that shot the guy" --- LOL!!! wow, quick trial. oh, and I guess everyone just forgot all about the car thefts, car crashes while evading police, assault of FBI officer, and what.. 20, 30 murders and a few home explosions he's done? they even had his fingerprints from the big shoot-out in Virginia!.. but no, you don't match the gun at beginning of movie, so you're free to go... and Secretary of Justice even gives you a big *wink wink* that going after and finishing off a senator, a colonel, and his entourage of hired guns is ok - after all, its good to take the lawy into your own hands once a while.. and besides, how could they just arrest the senator - especially if they killed his DOG! its revenge time, baby!!!
There was a few anti-government stabs in the film, but they were so brief and preachy that it had no effect on the action-centered plot; they mentioned something about Abu Graib prison, and a little something about going into countries for Oil, not for Freedom... but in the overall message i felt the movie sent out was "Guns = Freedom" and conspiracy in government never directly involve the president or other top guys; only one or two Senators + a secret organization of contract ex-military killers.
3/10
