Wordiezett So much average

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

john-fadel21 Writing is bad the acting is just as bad, They should have just made it about the scenery of Alaska. Don't waste your time on this garbage.

ActingoverAction31 I had never heard of this film but stumbled onto it here on IMDb somehow and the plot description along with two of the seven reviews was enough for me to want to see it. The story isn't completely original but it's hard to find anything that is original these days. It is a story that is well written, while the casting is perfect helping make the acting more believable. It does get pretty bumpy towards the end, but it works! My wife and I were tuned into this for the duration. We didn't find any slow points, the cinematography was nice, the pace of the film was just what it needed to be. My only knock would be that more scenery shots would have been welcomed, perhaps during the search scenes. Glad we found this one as there are far too many films these days that are banking on CGI and big names rather than a good story and fine acting.

subxerogravity So Sugar Mountain is s real place in Alaska? Interesting. I wonder if they call it that cause it's covered in snow? Went to see the flick cause Jason Momoa is in it. Looks like he filmed this around the same time as Justice League, cause he looks massive.But the new Aquaman has a small part in a movie about two brothers and the woman between them trying to pull off an interesting con.In order to save their small business they have a plan: Miles, the older bad boy brother would get lost on Sugar Mountain just long enough to make it worth selling his story to journalist and get paid like that dude who the movie 127 Hours is based on. Just to make his story of survival sweeter, an extra added story of Liam, the good little brother, openly confessing his love to his brother's girlfriend and the two brother's staging a fight just before Miles "disappears" on the mountain, making it seem like Liam may have had something to do with it.Of course the not that interesting twist is that Liam does actually have a thing for his brother's girl (You see that coming), What you don't see coming is how long of a downward spiral the whole con is. Usually in a small town when one of their own gets missing, it brings the town together in a good way, and the three culprits thought that would happen, but the con was getting people they care about hurt, or bringing out the worse in those closest to them and especially , especially each other. It's like the boy who cried wolf scenario , only everyone else gets eaten as the demon's come out.But Props to Jason Momoa who showed he was not all that one dimensional. One of my fav scenes is when his character Joe Bright ended up in a holding cell with Liam and his big ass roughed up little Liam in the ultimate scared straight "I'm never ever going to jail, ever" situation.It was a real tangle web of deception. It all started with what seemed like an very easy get rich quick scheme, but as the pages turned in this book the twist just kept getting more complex and disturbing, till you get to turning the page that makes you go "what!?" and your mind is just blown away by how messed up these people are.Sugar Mountain did the trick.http://cinemagardens.com

Kris McCarthy Getting 5 rating due to the storyline. Well written and thought out. A scam of selling a story to the press of being lost in the mountains of Alaska. We have all thought at one time or another how to make a quick buck on some idiot thing in the news. Sugar Mountain was a great take on that idea. But of course, when you have an idiot idea thought up by desperate idiots, you have a grand idiot adventure. Cary Elwes is not the Westley we know and loved from Princess Bride, playing the sheriff in backwater Alaska he has more Kiss the Girls crazy than anything. Well played and introducing all the twists to the story. But the Oscar for worst actor on the planet goes to none other than the future Aquaman, Jason Momoa. If you really want to learn the craft of how to be a bad actor, study the science of The Momoa. Just wow. He had one great role and that was Game of Thrones. His other roles have been barely OK, but Sugar Mountain really hit the mark on being plain bad. All in all an interesting little film set in the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness. Well worth the watch. Especially for the train wreck performance of Mr. Momoa.
