Typical slow, boring, badly written and acted movie that idiots will over-praise because they confuse dull with intellectual. The "psychological cat and mouse game" consists of endlessly boring, repetitive dialog and people acting one way and then another for no reason."You were in love with him" "No, I wasn't" "Yes, you were." "No, I wasn't" "Yes, you were"That's the level of the supposed "mind games" being played here.In the end, the whole movie ends up being just another example of the disgusting sexist cliché about a woman falling in love with her rapist.

This may not be the most polished film ever made nor is it the most exciting but I really liked it. The slow pacing will probably irritate a lot of people but that's where it scores. True it is one big tease from start to finish but I couldn't help watching just to see where it was going to end up and I for one wasn't disappointed. They obviously didn't have much money but they covered it up well and for a cheapie it looks great. It's directed well and the performances are uniformly very good, particularly Tom McCamus. Nice music, good editing all add up to a very moody piece and the film is different, maybe too different for most people because it's tough to get a handle on what it is. I'd give it 10 for effort and 7 for attainment. If you're in the mood for something quiet and disturbing then have a look. If you want a big bang then i'd forget it.

Nicely shot, well lit and great music. I'd love to write some more positives, but I'm struggling to find them. I think the script is mainly at fault - it disobeys most of the screenwriting rules (fair enough if the final product works, not if it bores you to tears) and doesn't offer the viewer enough to hold their interest. At the end of the day, there aren't many films you can return to after taking a leak and not realise that's it's still paused for 10 seconds.

I had no idea what to expect when I saw this film. Cast of (relative) unknowns and the title doesn't give much away either. But...it's a treat. If you like a film that defies genre, that was made outside the mainstream and asks you to think a little then you could do worse than take a look. On the surface it looks a standard sci-fi thriller, two military officers arrive at a remote arctic station to investigate a distress signal sent by a scientist believed missing and wanted for crimes against humanity. As soon as they arrive the sci-fi trimmings vanish and it becomes an intricate and very human psychological game of cat and mouse. Shot with panache and directed with flair it's a little rough around the edges no doubt as a result of a probably low budget and WARNING! it does contain a healthy dose of male and female nudity. Trinity went to work on me long after I saw it and some of the images achieved on a relatively low budget stick with you long after the titles have faded. If you want an action fest don't bother but if you want to be challenged, surprised and in one particularly poignant moment actually moved then check it out. It's worth 80 mins of anybody's time.
