3/10
Even the stupid survive

Sophie Turner and Corey Hawkins both perform fairly well and are very watchable, but I can't be bothered to give a broader review because their characters are so stupid and the script and dialogue are daft. This story isn't credible in several places, and the two main characters seem oblivious to the most obvious things to do - like stay at the crash site (given the location) rather than wander off across miles of mountain peaks and snow. Then there's the part at the start where Jane (ST) breaks into the pharmacy at the mental health agency she is in - if it was that easy, there would be no drugs left in the pharmacy! But the most annoying part of all is when Jane and Paul haul themselves into a cave after an avalanche. They are very hungry, cold and fatigued; they're battered and bruised from the plane crash; and Paul has broken ribs, and then gets a panic attack. Yet they have oxycodone and fentanyl tablets with them, which would reduce much of the pain caused by all of the above problems, and allow them to move on - but they don't consider these pills as having any use other than suicide if things get really bad for them! If they both popped a few of those opioid tabs, they could probably have skipped and danced down the rest of the mountain to the nearest town, and we could have ended with a nice sex scene or something. But no. Unless you like laughing in disbelief and shouting at the screen, avoid this movie.
