Steiger has never let me down as an actor. Always intense and rivetting, he shines in Wolf Lake.
As far as the plot goes, however, you have to wonder why Huffman would let slip to ANYONE that he had been a deserter, let alone to the confrontational, hard-as-nails Steiger.
Furthermore, I find it a stretch that Steiger's three buddies would have been as criminally compliant as they were made out to be. After all, they were no longer officially under his command from their presumed, mutual Vietnam stint.
Inexplicably, when Huffman and his girlfriend flee their cabin, he foolishly leaves his rifle behind while realizing Steiger and his cronies are in deadly pursuit. Only when Huffman and his girlfriend manage to double back, does he retrieve his gun.
If the film was indeed shot in Mexico as is claimed, why did the producers go to the trouble and expense of flying down that Cessna seaplane (Canadian registration number CF-TEQ) when they could easily have filmed in Canada?
