It's interesting to see Yvonne Strzechowski and Eion Bailey in their earlier roles. Yvonne was clearly acting her butt off in this film. I wish I could say the same for all the other characters. Bailey was good but Strzechowski was really great and I had to look her up to see where her career led. The Canyon reminds me of the I Shouldn't Be Alive type series with the usual dumb decisions that lead to disaster. But this film climaxes to an unexpected ending. The premise has been done before but still quite an emotional scene.
