ThiefHott Too much of everything

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Marcus Yang-Nilsson The story is simple - A recently financially crippled couple finds an incredible opportunity to get rich the easy way - By treasure hunting a stash of gold hidden some 20 years ago from a bank robbery. Cinematics and sound are great and the acting is "ok" for the most part. However - Why do the directors insist that people are stupid? The movie gets me up to the point where logic gets so flawed, it simply can't be ignored.SPOILERS FOLLOWS: *************************************** 01. When they find the old man - they don't take off his clothes - And the driver is a forest site inspector, used to the cold weather and don't know how to treat someone with hypothermia? I IGNORED THIS.02. Openly arguing about the "treasure" in a restaurant with the possibility of camera surveillance? I IGNORED THIS.03. Stealing a GPS although they found several thousand dollars in the old mans pockets? I IGNORED THIS.04. Not taking into consideration that 4 million dollars worth of gold would weigh a minimum of 300 pounds and not bring any rucsac for any of the 4 people in the group? I IGNORED THIS.05. Go out for the treasure "hunt" with ZERO planning? I IGNORED THIS.06. Go out in the morning without buying ANY NECESSARY EQUIPMENT or protective clothing? Well, this I couldn't ignore. WHO in their right mind would go out in feet deep snow in loafers, no gloves, no hat AND NO planning of the terrain to cover? WTF? No shovel? No backpack? I mean - COME ON - They could have bought all their equipment in any gas station.AND - Obviously - Everything goes down hill from here. There are thousands of other narratives that could have been exploited in this scenario. There is a hidden conflict between the pairs. Moral issues. Equipment failure. Gold moved. Hard ground. They brake into the cabin (this could have been much better used in the movie).

mtjohnson-61001 This was more than a movie about greedy people searching for a pot of gold. This was pure unadulterated desperation by people searching for another life. They could not turn back not only because they had come to far but because they did not want the lives they were hoping to leave behind. They were willing to risk it all for the lure of gold. It really speaks to how wealth and materialism have pervaded our culture and become essentially worth more than life itself to far to many people. The frost biting cold wasn't enough to stop them because they had tunnel vision motivated by greed and desperation. Even if there was a better way to accomplish their mission they didn't trust each other and the idea of the wealth and life that lie ahead would not allow them to see the forest for the trees.There was only one of them with a smidgen of rational and even he was to fool hearty to leave before almost dying from the bitter cold. If ever there was a movie that reflected the saying "desperate times calls for drastic measures" this movie certainly fits the bill. The acting was good too.

Sean Engbers Fun movie that brings you into the story of two different couples in need of money for different reasons. Loved the characters, the epic grand shots, and the use of outdoor landscapes. The characters did a great job of convincing me of their battle in their own minds and the cold that they felt. Was really fun to watch and very well done. I felt cold just watching the movie. Could really relate to the need for money and how it can drive you to making the choices we all make daily that affect relationships. We took our 13 year old son to the movie and he loved it as well. He was very engaged, related to the characters, and wants to see the movie again.

nestegg Really enjoyed this movie on so many levels: I felt the four lead actors were well cast and gave realistic and nuanced performances. The screenplay painted four believable characters struggling within themselves and the elements they had to confront. The BC wilderness setting was captured well by the cinematographer and supported by a fantastic musical score. Jason Goode's direction had wonderful pacing and the movie's story line hooked you into the growing dilemmas each character was experiencing. Finally, the excellent special effects (especially the makeup) made the audience feel like you were there struggling with them. Go see this movie. You'll enjoy the entire experience.
