Based on the Farley Mowat short story "Walk well my brother." Nice little film, not life changing, or super Hollywood blockbuster (which is good), but a simple enjoyable movie.
Good story. I liked it. Can't imagine being in that predicament.
One thing I noticed, though. He looked to be carrying and using a Buck 110. Google tells me that that was released in '64 but the film takes place in '53. I'm not usually one to be nit-picky about such things, especially if the story is good, but that seems to be a rather obvious error.

10 people would have caught that. I would not have been one of them.
Edited to add:
It looks like a Damascus blade, which would probably be late 80’s/early 90’s since the movie is 2003. At least the ulu looks to be correct and not a souvenir. I looked that up.
Watching the movie on a better screen, the blade is not Damascus.
I liked the movie though.This message has been edited. Last edited by: trapper189,

Giving it a zero out of five stars. The same number as the number of AT-ATs (or even variants like the AT-ST) Imperial walkers in the movie. Not even on Hoth once in the movie! A real miss for the Star Wars fan despite the title.

I liked it myself, it was a good story and well done.
