Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Two strangers battle to survive the elements when their light aircraft crashes in a remote American mountain range in this solid but unspectacular adventure that comes with a side order of melodrama. Surgeon Idris Elba and photojournalist Kate Winslet (along with the dead pilot's dog) face snowdrifts, gruesome injuries and wild animal attacks as they trek for days on end searching for signs of civilisation. Director Hany Abu-Assad stages the moments of peril with flair, but offers little in the way of insight into his characters' backstories (although Elba's personal history doesn't take a great deal of guessing). It's all very much by the genre book, with a final half hour that doesn't quite ring true and feels like it belongs in another film. While both leads bring an element of gravitas to proceedings, it's hardly the high-profile showcase their talents warrant.
