When they realize help is not coming, they embark on a perilous journey across the wilderness. Starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba . REVIEW: Oh My Gosh!!! What a powerful movie!  Right from the get-go I was hooked on this exciting and frightful story. Then even more things happened to heighten the emotions that were already roiling inside me. The conviction of these two characters that are trying to stay alive is  truly inspiring. Most people would have given up. It helps that fantastic thespians played these roles. Kate and Idris both bring these two to life, while Alex and the Doc fought for theirs. Yup, an incredible film. It had me bawling like a baby, so bring tissues!! Lots of them. 5/5 **C
