Part high-altitude adventure movie, part kidnapping caper film, "A Lonely Place to Die" is more exciting than smart, though that's not the worst thing you can say about a movie.

I almost died laughing.

This is a pretty neat thriller, and it could well take the Gilbey brothers to Hollywood.

By splitting the survivor horror elements with the "being hunted in the wilderness" elements, neither component is ever executed to its full potential.
