pjjersey OMG. This movie was really bad, but I had to watch the whole thing just to see who died. Bad story, laughable plot. Maybe it was meant to be a comedy?
jakyoung Probably one of the most ridiculous films i have seen in a while.The acting was at best poor ,the plot not well thought out. One of the characters supposedly had a knowledge of the outdoors and yet when faced with freezing to death proceeded to build what looked like 2 snow holes with bare hands and sticks (amazing),and informed his wife to light a candle,yes light a candle in the snow hole not maybe try and start a fire with the wood that was all around ,branches etc could have been used as kindling but no ,no attempt. Very badly thought out and written.
cmacfarlane-59-644361 I was so pleased to be able to take in this great new Canadian film! It is well worth seeing this one on the big screen. The screen writing was mature and provided really thoughtful character development. It also paid careful attention to the realities of winter wilderness survival . What could have been a slow moving walk in the snow filled woods instead steadily built tension between characters and drew the viewer in to the increasingly apparent ethical dilemmas of the journey. The cinematography was excellent. It captured both the serene beauty of the Canadian back country and the bone chilling realities of its wilderness. The film offers edge of the seat tension with a minimum of gore or violence! The cast put in great performances. You may want to take along some mitts and a toque to the theatre as you may feel chilled to the bone by the end. Highly recommended!
frbbcasw NUMB is a clever,deceptive,gem of a movie that pulls together a brilliant ensemble of actors, a compelling script, a moving musical score all in service of powerful storytelling. The story of two couples who desperately plunge into a frozen wilderness in search of treasure is believable, framed against the backdrop of the characters' personal financial desperation. The motif of humans struggling against the frozen landscape is augmented by Jamie Barber and Stephanie von Patten's portrayal of almost naive urban desperation juxtaposed against the brutal, suspicious, strangely sympathetic but increasingly paranoid portrayals of Alex Paunovic and Marie Avgeropoulos. NUMB will chill, thrill, disturb and lead to animated post-movie conversations. This is a 'must see' movie and tour de force for Director Jason Goode and Producer Dylan Jenkinson.
