Negative Positive
Title: Hot and cold
Review: About a half-dozen escapees from a Siberian prison set off on a Cacciatto-esque hike to someplace, anyplace that will have them (China? India?).The story somehow shirks Peter Weir's usually uncanny ability to make the simple things fascinating. He packs infinitely more heart and detail into the brisk nature hike in "Master and Commander" than he does into all 133 minutes of this.The characters are handled so impersonally that, at various points, I wasn't even sure how many guys were still on the trek.
Is the review positive or negative?
