Any movie with Liam Neeson is worth watching, but I couldn't get beyond the first half hour of this offensive movie. The first problem was the drunken buffoons representing a crew of oilfield professionals. These are prized jobs in Alaska, and these hand-picked crews are the best from all over the world. Liam Neeson's character says they were a collection of low-life assholes. Second problem was the plane crash. Unless you have something like Lost where there's a mystical force involved, the airplane's black box will broadcast where the crash site is located. Even in bad weather, the site would have been crawling with rescuers within hours. Liam Neeson's character takes charge, confidently asserting they were on their own. They camp outside the wreckage, then leave. Inside the wreckage, they would have been able to stay warm and safe. The final problem was the wolves. Wolves are the ancestors of modern dogs. They respect and fear humans. The giant creatures in the movie are like great white sharks with fur, mindless killers focused on making the crash victims a meal. If you have an IQ of 80 and can get past these insults to your intelligence, you may enjoy this movie. It's not badly shot, and the pacing was fine. Lian Neeson was excellent. However, anyone who has knowledge of Alaska, oilfields, airline safety protocol or wolves will be disappointed.
