I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Probably one of the most ridiculous films i have seen in a while.The acting was at best poor ,the plot not well thought out. One of the characters supposedly had a knowledge of the outdoors and yet when faced with freezing to death proceeded to build what looked like 2 snow holes with bare hands and sticks (amazing),and informed his wife to light a candle,yes light a candle in the snow hole not maybe try and start a fire with the wood that was all around ,branches etc could have been used as kindling but no ,no attempt. Very badly thought out and written.

I read the plot and i thought this looked interesting, it reminded me of the movie a simple plan but that movie was way more interesting than this.While i watch it i could think of way better movies with the same theme that i could be watching, i don't hate it but nothing got me hooked to it.I mean its not bad but there's nothing there that hasn't been done before in more interesting ways. The characters were boring and forgettable withvery used situations on way they are looking for the gold. Ill give thumbs up to the make up it look pretty good, either than that the movie is flat and its something to watch a Sunday afternoon and i doubt you will remember ever watching it afterwards.Sadly this movie has a lot of "good reviews" or should i say payed reviews making it a thrilling master piece, I dare you to watch it and give it a 10 out of 10

Really enjoyed the opportunity to go see NUMB in the theatre! I liked the movie - it reminded me of A Perfect Getaway a little...very different setting obviously...Hawaii vs the frozen land of Canada! Numb is about more than just cold temperatures though, it is about people. The characters are great and their intriguing story keeps you interested until the end. Well done, especially for a lower budget film. It is a great dramatic production and terrific acting throughout. I almost hope the writer comes through with another one, because there is definitely more... I'd like to know what happens next...but I can't elaborate on that because the suspense of how it will all end is what keeps you glued to the screen till the credits roll. Also, the music is simple, yet perfectly suited. All around, this is a movie worth watching.

NUMB is a clever,deceptive,gem of a movie that pulls together a brilliant ensemble of actors, a compelling script, a moving musical score all in service of powerful storytelling. The story of two couples who desperately plunge into a frozen wilderness in search of treasure is believable, framed against the backdrop of the characters' personal financial desperation. The motif of humans struggling against the frozen landscape is augmented by Jamie Barber and Stephanie von Patten's portrayal of almost naive urban desperation juxtaposed against the brutal, suspicious, strangely sympathetic but increasingly paranoid portrayals of Alex Paunovic and Marie Avgeropoulos. NUMB will chill, thrill, disturb and lead to animated post-movie conversations. This is a 'must see' movie and tour de force for Director Jason Goode and Producer Dylan Jenkinson.
