This is an another great western movie by Anthony O'Brien. I bought the DVD on the day of it's release. This is definitely one of the more better western films I've seen as of late. This movie is based on western-adventure story. Steve Allrich, Anthony O'Brien written this story very well. The story was interesting. The women beating the men in their lives at their own game. One thing I would suggest to improve that some actress acting were looking little bit wired, It might be improve. But I don't think it will disappoint either. Unless you hate drama, action, humor, violence, there is no way you can hate this movie! Well done Anthony O'Brien!

Surprisingly well made and written. Anthony O'Brien is really a good Director. He always takes the script serious. The movie only has like 2 jumpy scenes and your on the edge the whole time because you never can figure out whats going on which is great. The Timber completely exceeded my expectations. A fantastic Adventure film that keeps its focus on the wild west and western life. This movie is really a very good movie. This is definitely Anthony O'Brien's most accomplished and satisfying film to date. The direction, cinematography and score are all impressive here and the film is visually gorgeous. Hope everyone will enjoy it.

There are a lot of movies coming out that give reflection on the financial crisis that we are going through right now, but nothing does it as uniquely as the Timber. Quentin Tarantino, once said you can always tell the state of American society by the western that comes out in that period, and the Timber is true to this statement. Two brothers are threaten by foreclosure of their land and the lost their livelihood if they can't track down their father. The Timber acts as a testament on what you need to do in order to survive during hard times.With Josh Peck playing an unlikely western star. It was his performance most of all the brings it home as he struggles through the wild west completely out of his element, in order to find a way to provide for his wife and young son.The music seem out of place as well yet fit into the atmosphere and set the tone of the Timber I'm sure things like this were common in the wild west, but what a perfect time for The Timber to come out. It's the most out of the ordinary western I've seen and that's what makes a brilliant one.

I'm in awe, this movie is so pretentious yet falls down the avalanche of cliché until it finally crashes and burns. What is good about this movie? Well, the actors are trying with what they are given, and the shots are executed at a marginal level. The story has been seen a million times over. The story was written to be in the same vain as the room, but with tired themes of the darkness of the world from Apocalypse Now set in the Alaskan wilds. Sounds interesting..... It would be if the script worked and if pacing existed, but no. About the actors, those poor guys! They had to work with a script that would have been better written by the high school drama department, and give clichéd lines to push along a plot that failed to execute itself, even though we have seen it a million times in other films. Stay away from the timbers, It isn't even so Bad that its good.
