Sugar Mountain (2016)

It's amazing what people in financial woes can cook up to get free of debt. Sugar Mountain centers on 4 people. 2 brothers, 1 girl and a cop. Both brothers are in love with the same girl who is the cop's daughter. The three cook up a scheme to change reate a story of rescue and preserverence while being lost in the Alaskan wilderness. However, the cop is on to them - his pursuit is ruthless. There are so many twist (lies) and turns (lies gone bad) you can hardly keep up. Even the ruthless cop has dirty secrets. Watching the lies unfold can be exciting to some, so it's safe to say this movie isn't for everyone. I for one, liked it. The acting was good, especially Jason Momoa as Joe Bright. Check it out.

This was an enjoyable little film, cast not too bad, but I felt the actors were a little too infantile for their roles. I'm not sure if it was the acting or the screenplay, but I just couldn't take this film as seriously as I would have liked. Jason Momoa was the stand-out performance, but it was missing that wow-factor for me. Not bad, but nothing great either. It's a 6/10 from me.

don't waste your money or time. Nothing to recommend this movie. EVEN the scenery does not save it. I did watch the whole of the movie, but will not wish to revisit the content The acting was as poor as the story line - really, did you expect us to believe that tosh. Move along, find something that is believable in its content, as this one holds no believable content

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
