“Daughter Of The Wolf” (** out of four) was an uneven action melodrama about a female military veteran (Gina Carano) who hunts the men (Richard Dreyfuss, Brendan Fehr, and others) who have kidnapped her son and takes them on one-by-one in the outdoor wilderness. Unfortunately, she doesn’t do anything that “First Blood” didn’t cover first- and more excitingly- over 35 years ago. Highlighted by Mark Dobrescu’s spectacular cinematography and beautiful Canadian locations but unfortunately this easily upstages the bland characters and threadbare story. Carano is one-note as usual and Dreyfuss is sorely miscast as an elderly redneck.
