OMG. This movie was really bad, but I had to watch the whole thing just to see who died. Bad story, laughable plot. Maybe it was meant to be a comedy?

I was so pleased to be able to take in this great new Canadian film! It is well worth seeing this one on the big screen. The screen writing was mature and provided really thoughtful character development. It also paid careful attention to the realities of winter wilderness survival . What could have been a slow moving walk in the snow filled woods instead steadily built tension between characters and drew the viewer in to the increasingly apparent ethical dilemmas of the journey. The cinematography was excellent. It captured both the serene beauty of the Canadian back country and the bone chilling realities of its wilderness. The film offers edge of the seat tension with a minimum of gore or violence! The cast put in great performances. You may want to take along some mitts and a toque to the theatre as you may feel chilled to the bone by the end. Highly recommended!

An entertaining, engaging trek into the cold of a Canadian winter - and the human heart. The life- and-death struggles of survival in the British Columbia mountains lie only a couple hours trek from a well-travelled highway, just as the possibility of moral compromise and personal betray lie only a handful of bad decisions away from day-to-day middle-class life.Aleks Paunovic is a standout in this strong cast: his threatening physical presence and shady back- story stand in queasy juxtaposition to an easy smile and ready spiritual bromides, with the audience (and his fellow travellers) never certain which will carry the day. A remarkable and ambitious first film from Canadian director Jason Goode.

The scenery is beautiful, and the chill of it reaches you in the theater seat. The actors powerfully portray greed and how it can lead to poor judgment and devastating consequences. The makeup is amazingly realistic! The story is compelling and the actors draw you into their tragic quest. The music score provides the right measure of mood and an compelling accompaniment to the script. I found myself drawn to each of the four main characters and grew to appreciate the various ways their lives gave challenges and dilemmas they then struggled with. This is a movie that needs to be seen, let's spread the word and in so doing support this Canadian Indie film.
