The Clearing with Redford and Dafoe?
Any thoughts?
It kills me that this movie could have been a lot better.
Dafoe and Redford are great but the movie was so generic.
You expect more with these two awesome actors headlining a film.
I thought Dafoe would have a more vaild justified reason for taking Redford hostage.
Then again I had high hopes for the Hunted with Del Toro and Tommy Lee Jones

I just rented it, watched it, and it could have been alot better. Maybe I need to sit through it again sometime. It just seemed generic unless i missed some points somewhere.

I thought it was very well done. Tense and taught and you really didn't know what was going to happen to Redford. I think they both played there parts extremely well.

Well, I didn't know what to expect from this movie, but really enjoyed it. Much better (smarter, better acting) than hunted. However I also think that it could have been better.
I will probably pick it up one of these days.

It moved a little too slowly for me and by the middle of the film you kind of get the idea where the movie is heading, although I did like the story structure, everyone is just a bit TOO calm in the movie, the only emotion being the son's breakdown while running.
