Great Film overall

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

6 Below is based on a true story of Eric LeMarque (Josh Harnett) an ex ice hockey player, crystal meth addict who goes snowboarding and is ill prepared. He gets lost in the mountains when a blizzard approaches and has to fight for survival. There are flashbacks to his boyhood travails and disputes with his ice hockey team. His mother figures that something is wrong and tries to get a search and rescue operation in motion.The director has toned down the faith based elements of LeMarque's story but he has also toned down any excitement. It is flatly directed and it has little tension or energy. It certainly is no 127 Hours.

This true survival story probably should have contained more of an emotional punch because it is a remarkable tale. However, the filmmakers here appear content on more of a slow burn approach to retelling former pro hockey player and meth addict, at the time, Eric LeMarque's 8 days of hell lost on a snowy mountainside in Winterhaven. Combined with numerous depressing flashbacks, throughout the movie, depicting LeMarque's troubled life it all added up for me as not the easiest watch.However,as you might guess from the title it does have a poignant ending, and the clips at the film's conclusion of the real Eric LeMarque and what he has done with his life offer an inspiring message of receiving and taking advantage of a second chance in life
Miracles Happen
This is one of those movies which teaches you a lesson: never take life for granted. Athletes and people who love outdoor activities will love this movie because what happened to Eric could happen to any of us. You may say that Eric was a bit arrogant in overestimating himself but we all do it. There are very few movies out there which actually make you understand how important and precious life is: this is one of them. Excellent acting by the protagonist and his mother in particular, good music and breathtaking scenery.

you will be able to tell soon enough that this true story has a good ending if you know nothing about the main character and it is worth watching. i recommend it for the reasons of the choices he made that saved his life and the love of his mother that did not give up and as well as he did not give up with all the way to his last conscious moment. sometimes when we accept our life choice, we forgive ourselves and make peace, the miracle happens.
