Kate Winslet and Idris Elba play strangers who are stranded in the middle of the snow-covered wilderness after their small plane crashes. The first half features some gripping moments of danger and bleak desperation, but that tension dissipates when their relationship starts to dominate the plot. With lesser actors in the roles, it might have been a sappy disaster, but these 2 have the chops to bring courage and conflict. Even with some predictable twists, this starts promisingly as a riveting survival story. However, the second half can’t sustain the tension and loses some of the emotional impact.
