Director: Mark Fergus
Year: 2006
Stars: Guy Pearce, Piper Perabo, William Fichtner
Before seeing that this was on TV, I had heard nothing about it - or perhaps I had, I just don't remember because the movie is nearly ten years old now. Either way, I definitely haven't seen it before, and it sounded intriguing enough - a movie about a man (Pearce) who learns that he's going to die when the next snowfall hits, and tries to do everything in his power to stop it happening.
The idea isn't a bad one, but somehow the implementation is a little lacking. There seem to be two movies in here struggling to get out - one about a normal man who is just trying to avoid death, and another about a man with something of a shady past. As it is, neither story is told in enough detail to make it feel real, resulting in you feeling as if you're watching two halves of two different movies.
Some great ideas, but something of a messy result.
Rating: 3 out of 5
