When i see the scottish flag, i always feel home. Since i did travel over there several times and i have seen alot of the country, i just loved the scottish people and their hospitality. The scottish scenery is amazing with the majestic landscape. I actually read about this movie while it was in production, that it was beeing filmed in Scotland. Need to say i was very curious what it would turn out to be. The trailer gave me high expectations, does A Lonely Place To Die deliver what i was hoping for?
Deep in the highland forests of Scotland, five mountaineers are on hiking and climbing on different locations. While taking a rest, they hear a strange noise. As they get closer they find a small chamber underground, where someone buried a young Serbian girl named Anna. She is still alive but very weak. The group decide to try and help the girl back into the closest village. There is just a few problems. The kidnappers find out the mountaineers have found the girl, and now are on the hunt for them. Also, Anna´s father, a rich Serbian gangster who wants her alive, is prepared to do anything to have her back.
It is the strong efforts from the actors that saves the movie from being a dissapointment. Especially Paul Anderson, a british actor with so much power in everything he does, if you did not see his powerful performance in The Firm, you should rent it. A Lonely Place To Die is a well made thriller, but does not effect me as much as i would have hoped for. The scenery is perfect filmed, as you would be right back in the highlands. The problem is that i was hoping for more intensive scenes while the hunt is on. Some more brutal moments. But the last 20 minutes makes a big step in the right direction, when we are served with some really nice moments. All together this is a solid british thriller, with strong acting.
