The storyline was excellent but the flashbacks became annoying. The challenges of the Alaskan wilderness were minimised: mammals, insects, cold nights? The main character looked more Asian than Latino and from two fair parents. I watched it all so it was gripping but the practical difficulties of survival were glossed over.
A plodding script, average acting and gloomy cinematography. Not one for an evening in. Tom Hanks was surprisingly un-Hanksian too. Western cliches are tiring as well. Miss this if you can.
It was made for a purpose, to alert the wartime civilian population to fifth columnists and infiltrators. Viewed through a modern lens, it is naive and simplistic but a thread of authenticity runs through it. The weapon handling and shooting are a bit feeble (have you tried firing a Lee Enfield .303?). Some of the dialogue is very dated and elements of the plot a bit far-fetched. All-in-all, it is entertaining and a reminder of simpler times.
