In a nutshell: A vastly underrated thriller / adventure with great performances from Hopkins and Baldwin. After about a third of the way in, it's a two man show with excellent pacing, you will not be disappointed...
Review via The Movie Database (TMDB)
Sir Anthony Hopkins is billionaire "Charles" who finds himself stranded in the Alaskan wilderness after a plane crash leaves him, his friend "Robert" (Alec Baldwin) and his assistant "Stephen" (Harold Perrineau) in the middle of nowhere - and a fairly hostile nowhere at that! Fortunately, he was a boy scout as a kid - he knows how to light a fire, to make a compass from a leaf and so armed with a somewhat optimistically stoic attitude they set off to find civilisation. Not long into their journey, they pick up an unwanted guest - a 1,200lb Kodiak bear - and it is as hungry as they are lost. It will take all of their ingenuity to outsmart this hunter and reach safety. Along the way, we also discover there is just a little bit of a personal grudge running between the two friends, adding an additional tension to their already fraught predicament. It's a good looking film this, and "Bart" the bear turns in quite a ferocious effort as he provides such of the menace in this drama. Sadly, though, neither lead actor offers much by way of a performance, the dialogue is all a bit basic and though the grand scale photography is great to look at, the action stuff struggles to look real or plausible. The ending really lets the thing down quite badly, and though I didn't mind watching this film, I can't say I could recommend it nor that I would watch it again.
