Boring Adaptation, Decent stand alone movie
The book is always better, let's face it. Hatchet is no exception, why the name A Cry in the Wild? Just seems odd. The casting of Brian was bad. In the book Brian was young but smart. In the movie he's just the goof ball neighbor kid from Honey I shrunk the kids. I now know why this movie is difficult to find and relatively unknown. It isn't bad, as a movie. A but rushed and bland mostly. Stick with the book. Hopefully they can make a better attempt someday. Also he says "I am Brian Robenson" and the end, yes he screwed up the last name of his character Brian Robeson!
