Watched: Snow Walker

I liked this a lot more than I thought it would. It's got the dull, muted dramatic beats of a Sunday matinee showing on TNT but it's an enjoyable, simple story of a former WWII pilot who works in Canada, crashes, and along with his sole passenger, a dying Inuit girl, must learn to survive.

There were five commas in that sentence. TOP THAT!

Anyway it stars Barry Pepper who, despite always playing an asshole, I like. And the girl is pretty good too considering she was not an actor before she was hired for this film. Plus James Cromwell shows up as the father figure and Michael Buble (?) despite being in the movie for about three minutes, manages not to ruin any of his scenes.

There's also some great cinematography and survivalist shenanigans which are always nice.

So well done there, Canada.
