Viewing Notes

I liked this quite a bit. Based on a true story. There are definitely some cringe worthy scenes, even for me! Since moving to Colorado I can relate a lot more to these sorts of outdoor adventure movies. Not that I’ve ever found myself in this situation before, but I’ve white water rafted, backpacked and camped and I know what those sorts of things entail. I know what to do and not to do and how difficult it is to navigate rapids on a river.
