The Canyon (2009) – A Brutal Dose of Reality

​I just finished The Canyon, and honestly, I liked it. It’s a very entertaining flick, but what really got me was how realistic it felt. You’re watching these people and thinking, "Yeah, that’s exactly how things would go south."

​Now, I have to be honest—I disagreed with the ending. I didn't like where it went, but the fact that the ending was so sad actually made it okay for me. It gave it a weight that most of these survival movies shy away from.

​As always, you’ve got to look at who’s leading the charge. The main actors here, Yvonne Strahovski and Eion Bailey, really carried the tension. They made the desperation feel real. If you want a survival thriller that doesn't pull its punches, this is one to watch.
