Arctic

THE GIST: Having survived a plane crash in the Arctic, a man has to decide whether to wait for a rescue in the safety of the downed plane, or head out into the unknown and unforgiving landscape to seek help.

Arctic starts out pretty slowly, but it grabs your attention and never lets go.

Mads Mikkelsen proves once again to be a great actor, and I can only imaging how grueling the shoot must have been.

For anyone wondering, I checked out the featurette included on the disc, and the polar bear is not computer generated. It's the real thing!

THE BOTTOM LINE: A good drama that is well put together and doesn't disappoint.
