It would seem plenty. The group of five friends are enjoying their trip in the hills when a cry attracts their attention. They discover a young girl buried alive in the ground. They free her, but that is when their troubles really begin, as the men who buried her are on the scene, and are keen to recapture her.
I knew very little about this film before having viewed, and this benefitted me greatly. This is one of the best films I have seen all year. From the first frame the film never lets go. The characters backstory and friendship is set up very efficiently, allowing the Director to get on with telling the story. It is very compelling, taut, and has some stunning photography.
The kidnappers start to lower the quota of mountain climbing friends, but this is a film of two halves as we change scenery in the second half to a local Scottish village, where the Kidnappers, Mountain Climbers, and the men with money all converge.
It may sound far fetched, but is far from it. The story is brilliantly written and has an excellent cast bringing it to life. Julian Gilbey is at the top of his game and his Directing skills are showing British Talent at its very best, alongside his equally talented brother William.
For a suspense filled time at the cinema, I can think of nothing better to recommend than this masterpiece......9 out of 10
