A group of rock climbers are hiking through the scenic Scotland mountains when they come across a young Serbian girl buried in a box, equipped with a breathing tube. They rescue her from the claustrophobic confines and soon find themselves on the receiving end of some gunfire from a pair of murderous kidnappers awaiting their ransom money...
It's an entertaining and very well shot film that makes extremely good use of the picturesque mountain range highlands. I'm typically not one to give much of a shit about the nature content of a film, but I thought the sweeping, panoramic backdrop was an undeniable high point with this one. The characters aren't the most interesting or developed, which isn't completely a BAD thing, seeing as how they managed to dodge some cliches that are usually expected in certain types of movies. No romantic subplot or unnaturally heroic feats in the end. It stays reasonably plausible, I thought. Also, the whole angle with the undercover cops doing the trade-off worked well and was pretty tense. In all, I gotta say that this is definitely one that's worth checking out. Not a perfect flick or anything, but pretty damn entertaining.
