It cost a fortune to heat this place
A treasury plane carrying a 100 million dollars is attempted to be hijacked in flight ends up dumping 3 cases worth of cash in the mountains in Colorado. The team of Hijackers (lithgow) are stranded and can't even fathom on how to look for the money call for help from mountain rescue played by Stallone and Rooker. It ends of being a race on who gets to the money to either steal or prevention of getting it. Lots of action and I great scary opening that sets the pace for the movie.

From the same director as Black Water about a Alligator menacing a group of stranded people in the outback. We have this survival thriller about a group of friends whose boat is capsized and after some decide to swim encounter a great white shark. Apparently based on true events...
It does feel very similar to both Open water and Adrift but has a bit more action I felt. Definitely not as slowly paced as Open water. Given the subject matter, this is about as good as this type of film can get. It won't be for everyone.

Although I did not see in 3D (probably would've been better), I found this movie entertaining as well as beautiful on my 4K TV.

The story of a boy stranded on a lifeboat with mainly a Bengal tiger is interesting and is a metaphor at the same time. Any story of survival is usually compelling and this one is no different.


The visuals, cinematography and art direction were beautiful


Don't think it deserved a Best Director Academy Award for Ang Lee; however, the choices were pretty weak that year so I guess it is what it is.

Not very good

This movie uses the fact that it is intended for a younger audience to ignore major plot holes and problems. The teenage characters make some very questionable decisions in the movie, and are rewarded for it in the end. The "bad" kids in the movie don't face any consequences for leaving another teenager injured and stranded in the desert. While the "good"kid steal money from an ATM, but thats apparently okay because the robot dog hacked it. That's just the start of the problems I found in this movie, but maybe a kid would enjoy it.
