IMDb plot summary: A man stranded in the Arctic after a helicopter crash must decide whether to remain in the relative safety of his makeshift camp or to embark on a deadly trek through the unknown.
Directed by Joe Penna. Starring Mads Mikkelsen and Maria Thelma Smáradóttir.
This film takes a little while to get going. It's like a virtually silent Cast Away/127 Hours mashup. I often have trouble staying interested in one-person survival stories, but this one is all right. It's structured pretty well, and it manages to really latch onto that sense of "this is my last chance" toward the end. Pretty decent adventure drama, if a little slow moving at times.
