Overall Call:
John Sayles has pulled off another wonderfully rich tale of well developed characters. The story is certainly not your typical fair. Do not take this suggestion if you want everything in a neat thoughtless package. The story never goes where you think it will, leaves you to use your brain and definitely doesn't force anything at you. The characters are all very believable and give you time to really get into their heads. The backdrop of wild Alaska is a nice bonus too. If this sounds like the mood your in for tonights rental, then by all means give it a whirl.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Great unconventional plot structure
+ Off the usual beaten path of typical Hollywood movies (you must use your head)
+ Full characters
+ Nice Cinematography
