Daughter of the Wolf (2018)

UK Dazzler Media 2018 DVD edition


 

Entertaining B Action with lovely Gina on the hunt for her son's kidnappers in the
Canadian northern woods in winter. Yes, there are bad acting from some, especially
Richard Dreyfuss sucks, and his underlings in the film sucks too, with the exception
of Brendan Fehr that was surprisingly fine. Gina is Gina, she's always good and i will
love her whatever she does.
So, what was good besides Fehr and Gina ? The wolves and the wintry cinematography
of snowy endless woods was beautiful to see, but the story and the acting could've
been better admittedly. Due to Gina being in it the film was perfectly OK, and better
than her last film, "Scorched Earth". The car chase was a pretty good action scene too
without an overabundance of CGI.

Gina Carano plays Clair Hamilton, an ex-soldier, and dragged into an old conflict about
an alleged debt regarding her father's handling of a sawmill, she gets her young son
kidnapped. She pays the ransom the kidnappers have requested but she will not get her
son Charlie back and they plan to kill both her and her son.
But they are fucking with the wrong girl and as Claire really is Gina Carano, she kill two
of them and starts hunting the third one, Larsen (Brendan Fehr) who escaped her revenge.
Then follows a long hunt through the thick woods, a furious mother Bear looking for her
Cub and the kidnapper gang, led by the quirky "Father" played by Richard Dreyfuss.

During the hunt the badly mangled henchman to "Father", Larsen, repeatedly does Not kill
Clair when he gets the chance, as he wasn't In on the killing of the kid, just a kidnapping
and not a murder, and he helps Claire finding her son.

I liked this B action movie, Fehr was good as Larsen, and Gina Carano is a force of nature,
very charismatic. Unfortunately she have had a fall-out with the Hollywood crowd due to
US Politics and she is banned from movie-making there.

In 2022 Gina Carano played the lead in the independently produced Western "Terror on the
Prairie". But haven't seen it yet and I probably won't either.
The film is presented in anamorphic widescreen with english audio DD 5.1 or 2.0 with
english subtitless, region 2. No extras
