Lonely. So lonely. Oh, and dead. And this place... it's like... whoa.
Okay, this is about a group of people who go up the side of a mountain for fun. Right off the bat, things go bad because clearly not all of them have their ducks in a row. Now, I'm no expert climber, but I did watch 127 Hours, so I think I know a thing or two about it.
I'm not going to go into each actor's role, and I'll just say that all the good guys did okay, and all the bad guys kind of sucked. The guys who can't be strictly categorized as either also kind of sucked, but not as bad as the bad guys. Really, the bad guys sucked so massively that everyone else looked very good by comparison.
The main character was the hot chick played by Melissa George. To her credit, she isn't just pretty, she's a pretty good actress. She's not drop-dead gorgeous, but that may have been the way they made her up. They wanted her to seem pretty but approachable, and they hit it spot on. All of the other characters are peripheral to her, and she carries it well.
Essentially, they run across a little girl who is sitting in a box in the middle of the woods - trapped. Hilarity ensues. Not knowing what they stumbled on, they make some really bad decisions and do some really dumb things while being pursued through the woods and hills.
The story is pretty bland, and the dialog doesn't improve things at all. One bright spot (aside from the very passable acting for many of the actors) is the cinematography. They do a good job of giving you a feel for the environment and the mood of the film.
Cinematography is good
Acting is a mixed bag
Story is bland
Dialog is sparse and a bit predictable
Editing wasn't great.
