A Waste of Good Snow

Rating: 1/10 (23 October 2017)

I'm never one for wanting more screen time for women in movies, or wishing the time they had on screen was better spent, but even I felt a bit sorry for this actress. Her role as an FBI agent was so ridiculous that it just ruined the whole movie. She was continually inept to the extent she couldn't even dress herself appropriately.
I think the movie was trying to make some point about Indians v the modern day world? White men still raping their land by drilling? And in this, that rape actualised by the rape of a girl. If it was, then it was utterly lost on me. I didn't care. I couldn't catch a single word anyone said, so whatever message was being pushed was too inarticulate to bother with. Do they not test movies on random audiences these days? Actual paying audiences?
I didn't care about the death of the girl because we never met her or knew anything about her. I didn't care who killed her because we'd never met them either, and when we did they all looked alike. There was no build up, just wham, bam, everyone is dead.
And then we had ridiculousness beyond ridiculousness when punishing the baddie the "hero" (these terms are relative these days) gives him the opportunity to try and escape in the snow. The girl he beat and gang raped made it six miles. He makes 600 feet. Ah, but she was a ... warrior. Dear Lord. Where do they get these writers. An 18-year-old girl, beaten unconscious and then raped by five men after a night of sex with her boyfriend, and she can run barefeet in the snow for six miles BECAUSE SHE'S A WARRIOR. You couldn't make this rubbish up. Oh, they did.
Don't bother. The snow is lovely though.
