This was a movie of great potential. I was immediately invested in the landscape and characters. But here's the thing - mountain climbing speaks for itself and so did the location. There was no reason for the movie to turn into a generic action film, but it did.

I usually dismiss small stuff like bad decision making and improbability when it's in small doses. I mean they are movies after all. BUT, this film is totally ridiculous.From repelling down a sheer-face-cliff with half the rope to reach the bottom, to not crossing a not-so-fast river, and not being able to hear someone 15 yards away, because of the 'fast-rushing-water'. It's truly absurd more often than it's not.THere are endless examples of this garbage in this flick, and the rest of it isn't much better. The acting is average, the story is just dull, the writing is deplorable, and the end-result, is perhaps the worst 6.3 movie I've ever seen.I'd pass. This sat on my netflix q for a few weeks. What a waste of space... and time.It is a very lonely place to die indeed. Pretty boy tumbles down a mountain, bashes into a tree, lands looking like and sounding-like he broke his leg. Gets up only to be running in the next scene and looking like a polo model in the face and clothes. I could go on... I'd rather not. Pass.I had a few good laughs, but I'm pretty sure this is 'supposed' to be a thriller. 43/100

I live in the Scottish Highlands so seeing all the places I know on the big screen makes me wet my panties with excitement :D When the village Bobby said "I'll take ye up to Inverness central police station." That was just the icing in the cake because I live in Inverness and yes I was naughty once and ended up in the cells at Burnett Road police station aka "Inverness central police station." Anoch Mor, the town they were trying to find when they were in the mountains is actually a village called Dingwall its not far from where I live either.A friend of mine who is an actual climber said "This is one of the few films that portrays rock climbing accurately.

i had never heard of this film, but it looked interesting, as it was set in the highlands, well i wasn't disappointed. It starts with them mountaineering, on sheer cliffs, with amazing scenery, made me want to visit Scotland.Then the story starts for real,and its a roller coaster ride all the way until the end, scary, and thrilling.spoiler alert I read some of the negative reviews before i saw the film, and some of the things they said made sense,like why did they have to steal guns off the hunters, when they had their own guns? why didn't the climbers run towards the road the baddies drove down, why did the body guards mumble everything they said, but over all they are tiny things,its still a very good film, and id watch it again.
