				"A job at the end of 
				the world. A salaried killer for a big petroleum company. I 
				don't know why 
				I did half the things I've done, but I know this 
				is where I belong, surrounded by my own. 
				Ex-cons, fugitives, 
				drifters, assholes. Men unfit for mankind." - Ottway 
				Why watch this? It's 
				bleak and cold... hungry wolves are tracking plane crash survivors... 
				but then again, they have Liam Neeson. 
				Plot Summary: 
				A group of oil workers find themselves stranded in the 
				treacherous Alaskan wilderness after a devastating plane crash. 
				Led by a skilled huntsman, the surviving men must battle the 
				harsh elements and a relentless pack of territorial uber-wolves 
				stalking their every move. As they fight for survival against 
				overwhelming odds, the men are forced to confront not only the 
				primal forces of nature but also their own fears and 
				vulnerabilities. 
				Dad's Preview: 
				I was not prepared for such a great film. The surly Neeson portrays 
				Ottway, an introvert whose job is to hunt and kill massive Arctic 
				wolves who harass and attack oilfield workers. On a flight back 
				home, his plane crashes into the chilling forest a few hundred miles from 
				anything. A few men survive, but they are now being hunted by 
				the hungry pack. 
				This is a brutal battle for survival as the desperate men try to make it back to 
				civilization.
