Deep Winter (2009)

This was a dreadful film. From the title I was expecting a disaster movie, but what I got was some dull drama about a pair of competitive skiers who decide to tackle one of the most dangerous slopes in the world. Aside from the Alaskan locales, this has very few elements of interest, and at least half the running time seems to be padded out with stock shots of repetitive skiing footage.If the director and writers were trying to put across the magic and excitement of the sport then they didn't do a very good job because this is sleep-inducing. A few old and tired faces prop up the cast, including a here-and-there Michael Madsen, a lazy Robert Carradine, and an unusually charismatic Luke Goss. Eric Lively is a block of wood as the lead, and the only one worse than him is his co-star Kellan Lutz, later to star in the likes of THE EXPENDABLES 3 and THE LEGEND OF HERCULES.

This movie is AWESOME!! I didn't expect it to have have a good plot, but it did! The skiing was mind blowing. I have no idea how they got some of these shots, it's incredible. The hot guy Emmett from "Twilight" is even in it! Michael Madsen is a total classic. He adds a lot of depth to the movie. The soundtrack is great too! The Citizen Cope song was made for "Deep Winter". I can't imagine anyone NOT being totally blown away by this movie. I show my friends and they can't believe what they are seeing. They show all of their friends and so on and so on. But EVERYONE says how amazing it is. I'm totally psyched to see the whole movie. When can I get my hands on it? I want it and I want it NOW!!!!!

I totally dug this movie! It has great action and cool actors, the skiing is off the hizzle and the picture looks incredible. It is about time somebody made a decent story on the slopes without selling out to some typical Hollywood story. I felt like the pages of Powder Magazine came to life, literally. Hey it ain't Shakespeare, but there is a compelling buddy picture story, sort of man against nature vibe that takes you into the world of expert skiing and the majesty of the Alaskan Rockies. Emerging star Kellan Lutz commands as the snowboarder and Madsen rules as a grizzled pilot. I loved the soundtrack, too! This is the kind of movie that I can watch over and over on cable whenever it is on. Impressive effort, technically sound.

I joined IMDb just to say how bad this movie is. There is no plot, the acting is awful, and even the skiing is bad!!!It all starts after the main guy falls during a competition. Then he goes back home... Finds a old friend - she is obviously his best friends sister and of course he has sex with her. The brother gets really mad... However they still leave together to Alaska to make a movie. They leave to ski down one of the worst mountains ever.. The brother dies, the sister cries (but don t worry they get back together after the main character finishes what his best friend died doing, going down that big nasty mountain full of avalanches)Do not watch is my advice..
