1. If you don't like reading actual reviews and just want to know if the movie is good, it is fantastic! Highly recommend watching.
2.) If you want to read an actual review, then continue. :)
It's freezing and you can't move. It's quiet with no signs of civilization. You are locked in a vehicle with layers of snow you can't break. How do you feel? What do you feel? Are you calm and collected? Or do you panic?
This film will make you wonder all of these things. It is not an easy feat for an actor to invoke enough emotion in an audience so as to make them feel as if the danger is real; Like it's happening in real time. You feel like you have to do something, anything to help them (and then you remember it's just a movie and you need to calm down).
Genesis Rodriguez as Naomi gave an incredible performance. She was able to keep the suspense up right through the end of the movie. That takes pure talent and skill. Even with smaller details in the film she is able to make the audience feel a certain way. At times, the audience may feel like she (Naomi) is too critical of her husband Matt (Vincent Piazza's character). This is a crucial element, though. When they argue, the audience feels the awkwardness like a child might feel when parents are arguing. This makes the moment feel real. Fear brings out strong feelings. Anger is quite often how it comes out. Throughout the film, Naomi is responsive and reactionary to every circumstance. It felt real, making the audience feel a sense of intensity that typical run-of-the mill survival movies don't.
Talk about how incredible it is for an actress to make the audience cry on cue. All Genesis has to do is emote in each situation, and the audience immediately cares. Something every writer learns is that a story is only good if an audience cares about the characters enough. Now, I'd like to be able to credit writers here, but being based on actual events means that the actors were even more pressured to do the real story justice.
By 7 minutes in, the audience cares about the characters. Rodriguez carries the audience throughout the whole film. Piazza's role seems to primarily support his partner. Matt makes many sacrifices throughout the film to care for his wife, who just happens to be pregnant as well.
Without disclosing any of the movie, I'll state that by the end of the movie the audience is kinda left speechless. Everything that happens is shocking. NOTE: to anyone squeamish, there is this one part. Luckily, the movie gives you enough heads up.
It was intense throughout. There was no comic-relief, or break from the danger at hand. They keep you in the situation all the way till the end. That definitely helps make this film easily top 5 best movies of 2020/2021.
What are you waiting for? Go journey to the middle of nowhere in the frozen Norwegian unknown.
Incredible film. Period.
