Summary: An oil rig in the Gobi Desert is shut down and as the crew are being flown back to civiliation the pane flies through a sandstorm and crashes. The crew have to fight to survive with little water, food and nomads nearby.
My Review: Slow to start and not very engaging. The bad events begin to get repetative by the end and it all grows a little tiring before omething new happens. Ribisi is brilliant in the role of Elliot and extremely convincing.
Rating: 4/10 = repetative and unengaging
Worth buying?: Depending on wether your into lots of death and conflict, which I'm not. No.
Happy ending? Yes
