Following a grueling five-week shift at an Alaskan oil refinery, workers led by sharpshooter John Ottway are flying home for a much-needed vacation. But a brutal storm causes their plane to crash in the frozen wilderness, and only eight men, including Ottway, survive. As they trek southward toward civilization and safety, Ottway and his companions must battle mortal injuries, the icy elements, and a pack of hungry wolves.

Simply Perfect

Excellent but underrated film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This film takes you on a journey with pure men with the struggles they experience and the beauty that comes with it.It is not intended as a documentary of wolves. Bit rather the way men think and why we men are men.Chicks don't get this. Go watch a romcom.Survival and pure instinct this is what destilles from the broth.

This is one of the deepest movies I have ever watched. Point is not about the wolves, location or anything else. Point is about him loosing the loved one. And only If you lost someone you truly loved you will be able to understand what he felt. He went to take his own life but he couldn't, subconsciously he wanted that someone else does it, in this case it was the wolves.

The main character (played by Liam Neeson) is great at leading a group of survivors through dangerous situations.Without spoiling the movie, we can say that the story is engaging.

This movie is not about Action, it's not about watching half a dozen men battle it out with a pack of wolves. It's not about seeing Liam Neeson wrestle to the death with an alpha wolf in the freezing snow.Many fail to realize that this movie is an allegory for the struggles we face as we live our lives, and how every time something comes to challenge you between death and life you have to fight back and be strong.By the end, you see his wife's dying on a hospital bed, her last words to him were "don't be afraid", telling him to be strong. This is where you realize why he's been contemplating suicide and how the world around him has become so cold. His life then flashes before his eyes with the unforgettable poem. That scene tears a hole in my heart every time I see it. I always cry until my eyes dry out at the last few minutes of this misunderstood movie.You can talk about how unrealistic it is. About how poorly they showed how wolves act and the logic behind nature. But as far as I can tell, they already died when the plane crashed, them walking through the frozen wastelands of Alaska and getting picked off by the pack led by the black alpha wolf was them moving on one by one from purgatory as they slightly understood one another and what they've dealt with in their lives.In the end, death is black and life is white, we all end up in the grey at some point.
