Baltasar Kormákur directs Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton and Eric Bana in this Aussie thriller where a grieving widow finds herself being hunted in the wilderness.

A solid revival of the yuppie-in-peril tropes which simultaneously continues Kormákur’s love of putting movie stars in deep shit in extreme nature (Everest, Beast). A two hander with sterling genre work for both its stars. Great Saturday night fodder and very handsome. For once Netflix’s formula of mandatory drone establishing shots and obnoxious needle drops pay off.
