6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain

Nothing new or surprising here. Except perhaps the fact that Sarah was ever cast as an actress. So so bad. Acting by numbers is all I can describe it as.

Hartnett has always been a good actor in a seemingly effortlessly way. This brings out his true skills as an actor like never before. The film isn't brilliant, but the story behind it and the story it tells is one of true human splender on how we as people never give up and always try to do the best we can. Enjoy.

6 Below is based on a true story of Eric LeMarque (Josh Harnett) an ex ice hockey player, crystal meth addict who goes snowboarding and is ill prepared. He gets lost in the mountains when a blizzard approaches and has to fight for survival.

There are flashbacks to his boyhood travails and disputes with his ice hockey team. His mother figures that something is wrong and tries to get a search and rescue operation in motion.

The director has toned down the faith based elements of LeMarque's story but he has also toned down any excitement. It is flatly directed and it has little tension or energy. It certainly is no 127 Hours.

This is an amazing survival movie, about love, family and perseverance.

When I saw an IMDb score of 5,7, I was a bit hesitant about watching it, but this is one of those few movies where the score is completely wrong.

It's inspiring, with some great life lessons. It's about overcoming all obstacles. It's about family and love. It's about being imperfect and human. It's about life. Go see it.

Amazing true story about how the love between a mother and son can help overcome the most hopeless situations. You might not believe someone could survive such a situation if it wasn't a true story. Also a reminder how drug addiction can ruin your life, but you can be redeemed.
