Far North Details

hideous

This film is hideously disturbing on many levels. Not least that I ordered and watched to the end of my own free will.

But it is totally pointless, i want to say more but the twisted expression on my face as I think of it probably says it all.

Barbaric and Disappointing

This film is slow and never got my attention. I thought with Sean Bean and Michelle Yeoh it would be good but the story is thin, there is very little dialogue (which i am sure is the point) and there are long drawn out stretches of scenery and the barren arctic landscape. This is beautiful in its way but the story gets lost in the photography. In several places the story skips confusingly between past and present. At one point you think the story is going one way and in the next scene it has gone in another direction with no explanation.

The ending was unexpected, very barbaric and completely appalling.
