I went in to watch the movie without any prior expectations about the subject, and I was impressed by Paul Walker's performance in it, who had been more well known as an action actor. This movie belongs to the same genre as "127 hours", "Cast Away", "Robinson Crusoe", "Buried", "All is lost" and the like, which are basically one-man shows taken place in single-location backgrounds, but this one stands way above the others, IMO, all thanks to Walker's brilliant display of emotions and intensity, which I find very engaging and touching. "Hours" is a drama for mature people, so those looking for action and witty banters characteristic of the "Fast and Furious" movies would be disappointed. "Eight Below" and this one are my most favorite Walker movies. I will always remember you fondly, Paul, for your easy charms and down-to-earth demeanors on screen, someone I can readily relate to. Rest in peace, my friend.
