Slow to start, and the movie is not about Gold in so much as it is about what people will do for a chance. This small group is led by a shyster who promises them an easy journey north to the Klondike up through a route he promises he has traveled many times. Things do not go well for the group, and we watch as one after the other they are stricken down with one thing or another. Some stop along the way, and turn back, and some are lost forever and lie buried along the trails. If you can handle subtitles then you might Enjoy this movie, I can't say you will like it a lot though. There is just nothing much to this story, there is a bit of action very near the end, and You do get to watch one very persistent Woman in our Nina who will not let anything stop her from reaching her goal. It did surprise me that the biggest threat to these people was themselves, and nature, the only Natives you see are helpful (for a price) and if these folks had been following a better guide they might have made it together to the end. I recommend this movie though to people who like to just sit, and watch the world go by, as that is one thing this movie does really well. The scenery is beautiful and full of life all around them. Not for a late nite, but a good movie for late afternoons when you have time to pay attention.
