I love suspenseful thrillers and this movie is still up there even in 2018! Had a huge crush on Tom Berenger back then and he ,along with the other actors, do not disappoint! It'll keep you guessing right up til the end of who the murderer is. I can get bored sometimes when I figure out "the who done it" early in the movie and didn't have to worry with this one at all! Awesome scenery as well as action brings you along for a fab ride! Get it and enjoy! You won't be disappointed for one minute!

This movie covers a lot of ground, from a jewelry heist to a wilderness hike with a cold blooded killer. The acting is superb all the way through. Even the lesser characters are played to perfection. And the mountain scenery is both beautiful and daunting. This is one of my favorite movies and I highly recommend it.
