The High Country Audience Reviews

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
SnoopyStyle Weed dealer Jim (Timothy Bottoms) is in custody. He survives the car crash and goes on the run. Kathy (Linda Purl) is a sweet mentally-challenged girl living alone in the wilderness. She has lived in the cabin on and off since childhood with the support of her rich father. Kathy treats the sickly injured Jim. He's a hardened criminal with a troubled childhood. Even after he tries to rape her, she offers to guide him up to the remote High Country.Linda Purl is adorable although her mental handicap seems a little manufactured. She seems to be trying to play autistic. Jim is an another matter. The rape attempt is probably too much. He's too hard. I understand that it's the attraction of opposites. He still needs to show more heart at the start. I love the scenery. The romance is classic feel-good and very melodramatic.
xfile1971 An escaped convict and a learning disabled woman meet under the most outrageous of circumstances. They go to a cabin in the woods and "play house". He yells at her a lot and holds a knife to her throat. Aww...how touching.The real excitement comes when they grab some camping gear and hike and hike and hike until finally...they hike some more. They do their best to bore the viewer into a coma. It works. I won't ruin the dull ending for you just in case you have a desire to torture yourself by watching this film. 1/10
portia17 Before there was Continental Divide, there was The High Country. Both the underrated Timothy Bottoms and Linda Purl are exceptional as a convict and a "handicapped" girl who flee from civilization to the mountains. I'm a sucker for movies that focus on just the two people falling in love - and it is even better when they are isolated. A truly touching love story. Not at all sentimental. No Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Butterworth's here, Ladies and Gents.
Iceafin A movie that i checked out on video.It is a little low budget,but it is a heart warming movie that really reaches you.Timothy Bottoms is casted great as a con on the run from the law.And Linda Purl is a stand out as a person with learning problems who can't read.This is a movie that you should not miss.If you have a chance don't pass it up on video..
