Such a frustrating disappointment

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Of all Keaton's walk-ons, and cameos, and appearances in films that are not worthy of the man, this one has to be the strangest. This feature was shot in the Pacific Northwest, and deals with a lumberjack on the run, and a budding romance on the horizon. (All shot in fabulous colour!) While they were shooting the film, they must have realised nobody would care about any of this. Without question, the highlight of the film comes in two disparate sequences dominated by Buster, that may well have been shot after they screened the first cut. What they should have done was release a Keaton short and cut out the hideous feature it was meant to save.
