The faults I see with the movie start at the beginning right away.Missed opportunity to educate people on real life basic first aid skills. You don't slap around someone that is unconscious in a plane crash without checking that they are breathing, not bleeding and have not broken anything in their body. Nor did they check the pilot and the other person that was thrown from the aircraft.I don't think making the assumption that poachers would look to do harm to people in a crashed plane is reasonable as well. There are some poachers that would help others in need when encountered but I'll leave that to the storyline.Later in the movie some survival skills are explained and even some basic tracking skills which was nice to see but it was rare.I question why a pit trap would have florescent tubes around it. .The movie might be fine for younger kids kid below the age of 8 but I don't see why they would be exposed to it when there is probably better things they could be watching.

Contains Spoilers Sorry I can't see how this movie was ever green lighted.I recognized a young Kirsten Dunst instantly. Written for very young viewers.Anyone older than ten will not put up with this crap. The continuity is awful, with many things (like Khonanesta somehow escaping being locked up in a shed), never explained.There is sloppy editing, lousy dialog, and poor acting to boot. Gunshot wounds that appear to bother the victims less than a mosquito bite. More than once, the poachers have a clean shot to kill the Kodiak, yet somehow fail to pull the trigger and let the bear attack them. The bear even chases 4 men with loaded rifles away from their camp. Hmm, come to think of it, if their gunshots were so ineffective, I would run too.Kirsten Dunst leaves her jacket in one direction while they escape in another, only to kick up dirt and gravel in the opposite direction so they could easily be tracked.A poacher shot with an arrow, in a scene that looks fatal, later re-appears later without a scratch. An old clue cloth (that looks plastic coated), with an insipid riddle that leads the way to a sacred Indian place.Writer/director Cyran's script may have looked good on paper, but the low budget, poor acting and bad direction make this a film to avoid.Interesting only to Kirsten Dunst enthusiasts (she looks very very young here) One Star

Spoilers herein.This is an absolutely dreadful film in every way except for the appearance of the remarkable Dunst.She has turned out to be an ordinary adult actress, but as a child she was spellbinding. Here, the role is undemanding, but see the mark of a good actress in that she gives more than the pedestrian director demands.Part of that young talent was in understanding how to create and use the `Lolita mouth,' that reverse smile that can persist through the whole character. It is derived from a pout but turned into a token of engaged personality. We lost something when she grew up.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 4: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

I've seen True Heart on TV and I think it's fine. It is a family movie, and like most of family movies this one tries to give you moral values, and it's fun. It's pretty fine for me. I liked this movie because of the ecological sights and also because it's an innocent movie, good for kids. Kirsten Dunst is great as one of the lost kids in the forest.The story is about two kids that have a plane accident. The plane crashes in a forest. After they find out the pilot was dead, they meet a native. This native and his friend bear help them to find the way back to civilization, but some hunters want to ruin their plans because they want to kill the bear. It's basically this. I give a 6 out of 10.
