One of the better films released this fall, ENCOUNTER is tension filled and not what it seems. If it weren’t for the foul language, this would be a great film for family viewing for those that like scary, twisty, alien stories with a strong family factor. Unfortunately, there is a regular peppering of expletives including an occasional f-bomb😡
The dad is ex-military and has issues. He takes his 2 young boys on a road trip that goes wrong. Convinced there is an alien factor, bad decisions are made which causes jeopardy for all three of them and a cross country pursuit ensues.
Good acting by all 3 family guys, plus the supporting cast, especially the parole officer. Beautiful western scenery and a good musical score add to the whole experience. Fast paced and no snoozy moments, recommended for 16+🍿
