Movie of two halves!


This really is an odd little film - the movie has a great premise and builds up well but as another reviewer has mentioned lets itself down totally in the second half, the ending seems to have not been thought about or written in properly, budegt constraints or pressure to get film made for a certain date withstanding, this is wasted opportunity and could have been a real classic. The inuit song and culture is an interesting topic too but all ruined in the climax! Watch the trailer and it looks like you are in for something amazing, watch the film and you'll be going "Er...what?" in the last 5 mins...
