A singularly unique survival/disaster movie in that every shred of the eyeball rolling, forehead slapping melodrama that normally plagues the genre has been stripped away leaving an intelligent protagonist taking intelligent action in order to engage an intelligent audience.
Also made me need a wee quite a lot.
Redford is magnificent in a visually awesome survival story that avoids melodrama yet still gets your pulse raising. Very good, easy to admire, hard to truly love.
