Not a bad movie at all, saw it a while back. Was a bit disappointed when I researched the actual story though. The movie is VERY loosely based on the actual events. In reality both the husband and wife were avid outdoor enthusiasts. The bear attacked while they were preparing dinner. It began dragging the wife away and the husband put the bear in a headlock and punched it until it let go, he then fought it off with a swiss army knife. Both of them made it back to their canoe but the wife bled to death on the trip to another campsite 1 km away. There are quite a few people who were upset with the portrayal of the characters in the movie, so I'd prefer to think that the actual events inspired the writer rather than saying the movie was based on the events.
