Underused Throughout His Film Career, Berenger is Still Willing to Step-Up and Brave the Harsh Shoot During a Winter in Maine.

He Carries this Modest Thriller Single-Handedly Disposing of Four Robbers and Murderers.

It's a Not-Bad Character Study with the Weather-Beaten Face and Body of the 71-Year-Old Thespian.

His Character is Next-to-Death Battling Lung-Cancer, Alcoholism, and Devastating Guilt of Killing His Daughter in a Drunk-Driving Accident.

He Fights His Demons as well as the Bad-Guys with Ex-Marine Gravitas.

Worth a Watch for Berenger's Performance and a Good Cat-and-Mouse Game within the Snow-Covered Mountains.

Tom Berenger Fans out there will dig this Movie about a Retired Marine (Jim Reed) Living and Hunting in the Icy Cold of Northern Maine. Fairly simple Plot twists, see Trailer, but if you Watch til the end you will Root for his character. Reasonable Run Time. (Debbie) Kristen Hager, the Waitress at the Small Town Diner does Good ! Available on Amazon Prime

PS Whoever wrote the Storyline on the IMDB site for this did not see the Movie ?

Tom Berenger really does a good job of an old, slow dying man who limps his way through his final few days.

As for the movie... if this had been a 'Nordic' film with a Nordic cast this would probably have been better received... as it is, it's an American film, so the jury haven't been so kind.

It's a film of two halves and the first half is brilliant. A great sense of atmosphere and the cold, FREEZING outdoors! The direction jumps around quickly to set up the location and the characters.

The second half turns into a routine slugfest between the good guy (Tom) and some silly men who are after some stolen money. It's a wonder how they pulled off this heist at all, given that they are all stupid and all prone to make stupid decisions!

I saw it through to the end because it started off so well, and I like Tom... but by the end I was a bit annoyed.

You must have a great listening skill and memory to like this movie. It has to do with the law of attraction. I think you will agree with me if we are on the same page after you have watch the movie. Its 1 of those movies that you should not be distracted when watching.

I'm a fan of Tom Berenger so watched the whole 85 minutes of this movie. There is little dialogue and the 5 or 6 characters (Tom included) earn their money by simply walking around in the snow and shooting at each other. Tom tries very hard to be a tired and sickly old timer, Jim Reed, but it is painful to watch this excellent actor in such a crappy role. Clint could have done this better. He's older than Tom. This movie could have been edited to 60 minutes tops. It's terribly tedious and slow.
