ghcheese Some people didn't like this. Some people couldn't keep up with the story. Some people just don't listen. This was actually a pretty good story. I would tell you more but I don't want to give it away. Just figure on paying attention. It's that hard if you try. I will tell you people in small towns sometimes have too much time on their hands. And they are not always the good people you think they are.
Bob Rutzel We have all heard about true survivor stories and the big bucks, and sometimes a movie made for the story.Well, we have almost the same thing here in this fictional story. Brothers Liam (Shane Coffey) and Miles (Drew Roy) hatch a plan whereby Miles will go into Sugar Mountain after a "fight" with Liam and get lost and be "found" later on and the story will bring in big bucks to take care of their debts. The plan is hatched, but things go south big time.Enter Joe Bright (Jason Momoa) who learns of the hoax and wants money to keep quiet. Oh, oh, this can't be good. Acting all around is very good and the cinematography is outstanding, at times. There are plot holes and twists, but to tell of them would give too much away. And, there is one very big twist later on. Let me repeat: A VERY BIG TWIST. Okay, one lesser twist - that is obvious - is that Liam has a thing for his brother's girlfriend, Lauren Huxkey (Haley Webb). (Yes. Very obvious)I was surprised at how many "producers" are listed in this movie. Hey, guys it wasn't that good. Not bad, but why all these producers? Notable: Cary Elwes as Sheriff Huxley, and yes, Lauren's father.The ending is somewhat of a reach, but plausible I suppose. (5/10)Violence Yes. Sex: Yes. Nudity: Yes. Language: Yes.
rockdileesha This is the first time I'm commenting on IMDb simply because this movie is stunning.I can't understand why this movie is underrated.pretty sure it will take some higher ratings in the future.This movie was well written and well acted.Script was original with some twists in the tale.the film was well paced from the start to the end.Never heard of this film but i am glad that i found it. this one is quite unpredictable.being a horror/thriller fan i would love to see more films like this with better story line.Highly recommend this breathtaking flick. but this is not for everyone.stop reading this start watching it....
subxerogravity So Sugar Mountain is s real place in Alaska? Interesting. I wonder if they call it that cause it's covered in snow? Went to see the flick cause Jason Momoa is in it. Looks like he filmed this around the same time as Justice League, cause he looks massive.But the new Aquaman has a small part in a movie about two brothers and the woman between them trying to pull off an interesting con.In order to save their small business they have a plan: Miles, the older bad boy brother would get lost on Sugar Mountain just long enough to make it worth selling his story to journalist and get paid like that dude who the movie 127 Hours is based on. Just to make his story of survival sweeter, an extra added story of Liam, the good little brother, openly confessing his love to his brother's girlfriend and the two brother's staging a fight just before Miles "disappears" on the mountain, making it seem like Liam may have had something to do with it.Of course the not that interesting twist is that Liam does actually have a thing for his brother's girl (You see that coming), What you don't see coming is how long of a downward spiral the whole con is. Usually in a small town when one of their own gets missing, it brings the town together in a good way, and the three culprits thought that would happen, but the con was getting people they care about hurt, or bringing out the worse in those closest to them and especially , especially each other. It's like the boy who cried wolf scenario , only everyone else gets eaten as the demon's come out.But Props to Jason Momoa who showed he was not all that one dimensional. One of my fav scenes is when his character Joe Bright ended up in a holding cell with Liam and his big ass roughed up little Liam in the ultimate scared straight "I'm never ever going to jail, ever" situation.It was a real tangle web of deception. It all started with what seemed like an very easy get rich quick scheme, but as the pages turned in this book the twist just kept getting more complex and disturbing, till you get to turning the page that makes you go "what!?" and your mind is just blown away by how messed up these people are.Sugar Mountain did the trick.http://cinemagardens.com
