I don't know why, but I went into this movie hopping for something amazing, I cant really figure out why. Maybe because when I see that Mads Mikkelsen stars in a movie it instantly intrigues me. So reading that this is going to be a solo Mads Mikkelsen movie about survival in the arctic, I was like - what else do you want? one and a half hour of fine acting should be enough.Well, no. Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie, the performance is top notch as usual,photography is great, the locations are really compelling and some times the way the information is revealed is through clever ideas especially when it comes to narration and exposition.But the biggest flaw of the movie, is it's story, especially because of the existence of another character, who personally, even if I understood why she was there and the conflict she created, it just felt unnecessary.I admit I was much more invested in his own personal story and it was kind of distracting to me.Also I felt that the specific ending was a bid abrupt and not quite earned, but this is a minor detail.Finally, having said all that, props to the director, since it's his first attempt at a full length feature film and I hope I watch more of his movie in the feature.
