Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Dec 7, 2009
2/5
If well-meaning people didn't make stupid choices -- and if cellphones worked everywhere -- way fewer vacation-from-hell thrillers would probably be made. Go to Full Review
Cary Darling Dallas Morning News Oct 30, 2009
2/5
The Canyon is undermined by the expectation of a big payoff that never comes. Go to Full Review
Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Oct 30, 2009
1/4
The best thing about this would-be nature thriller is Will Patton's zesty performance as a cackling, crazed muleskinner, a wily old hand who exits far too soon. There's nothing much to replace him, so we're in for a long 102 minutes. Go to Full Review
Christopher Monfette IGN Nov 28, 2018
In the absence of common sense or basic survival skills, when the end comes, for both the characters and the audience, it's a very welcome rescue indeed. Go to Full Review
Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press Nov 5, 2009
1.5/4
Take Open Water, subtract the Caribbean, substitute the Grand Canyon, and you have The Canyon. Go to Full Review

7.35/10
A taut, unpredictable and intense thriller. You'll never look at the Grand Canyon the same way again. Go to Full Review
