srjcochrane OMG whomever funded this movie wasted their money. This was pianful at its best. Josh Hartnet gets reviewed for his acting?!?! but i spent the entire movie barracking for Nature to take him oput and make it painful.

Payman Takroosta I think this movie had a lot of potentials to be even better than this. I am being generous and give it an 8 out of 10. (7 would be more reasonable though) The story (which was based on a true one) was pretty intense and well-thought. The main actor was great, and I didn't notice any major problems in cinematography or soundtracks... But what made me score lower than 9 was the two other female actresses. God, they were bad! The mother didn't even look like a mother! and the rescue lady was cold as ice (well, kinda makes sense in such a cold weather, lol). For me, the mother was a total turn off! I would try to imagine my mother being in the same situation, and I am sure should would have been much much much more distressed. She was like 'oh, my son is lost, is my make up still on?'Overall, nice movie! definitely give it a go... It won't disappoint to be honest.

Dr Lewis I'm a big fan of films that teach you lessons and survival against all odds, but for some reason this film fell somewhat flat. It's not in the league of Everest or other mountain survival epics.Maybe it's that the protagonist is so idiotic in that typical American over-emotional way. Over celebrating small victories and screaming and crying over set backs. Have a bit more stiff upper lip old chap. You're probably not going to 'kick nature's ass'. Going down a double black diamond run late in the day with a storm rolling in surely isn't a great choice. Follow the lift down? The cut scenes were annoying and seemed filler as basically it is very hard to tell a story with one character, but it's been done very well more than once.To sum up; it's the kind of film I like. but it's just not made that well. Ideal for a long-haul flight time-killer.

fireflicker38 This is not a big Hollywood budget film. But there are many stories out there that don't need special effects etc. to tell a great story. I could relate to Eric's story; his childhood, his young adult life. His addiction. It was only in 'never quitting' that he continued to fight each day to live.In those 7 days, he truly hit bottom, took stock of his life and found what mattered most. In the end he faced his inner demons and was finally at peace.This is a great story of survival in the literal and ethereal sense. Inspirational and compelling. I was rooting for Eric, not just for his survival but for his redemption.
