This film turns out to be a lot more than you expect. You think it's going to be a simple crash-landing in the wilderness/survival/love story but both the script and the performances lift it out of that. It becomes an absorbing story of the relationship that develops between two people of different cultures. I'd never heard of Barry Pepper but he takes on the difficult job here of holding much of the film, and he does it very well - and his co-star is mesmerising. The scenery of Canada's North Western Territories is breathtaking, and there is able support for the two leads from the ever-reliable James Cromwell and the other supporting cast. It's well worth watching.
