Here, the exceptional performances of Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin elevate what could have been a mediocre survival story into an eminently watchable action adventure. Hopkins plays a billionaire who suspects fashion photographer Baldwin covets his beautiful young wife (Elle Macpherson). When their plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, the rivals must learn to depend on each other to survive. Lee Tamahori's excellent direction is enhanced by David Mamet's hard-boiled dialogue and Donald M McAlpine's awesome camerawork.

"...The well-matched actors grab their parts with disciplined ferocity. Baldwin does his best work in a long time....And Hopkins creates one of his most satisfying, complex characters..."

Hopkins at his best
A highly enjoyable thriller with a simple story that keeps the focus on the characters. Hopkins is fantastic as the shy billionaire Charles Morse.
