- TriviaAccording to Liam Neeson's account, the temperatures were as low as -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) in Smithers, British Columbia, where the film was shot. The snowstorms/scenes were real prevailing weather conditions, and not a cinematic illusion produced with CGI (interview: Episode #20.70 (2012)). The cast wore thermals under their costumes for additional protection.
- GoofsWhen Ottway jumps into the rushing river to save a friend, he would not have been able to stand the freezing cold water for more than a minute. Afterwards, he lifts himself out of the water and continues his quest. Hypothermia would have killed him within minutes after leaving the water,

Featured review
This review is here because people are inherently stupid.
This is a fictional movie. At no point does it state anywhere within the film that it's a true story or that it's based on any true event. The wolves scenario, tracking and attacking them like they do is unrealistic but again that's not what the film is about. This film at its heart is about the human will of survival and what keeps us alive. I don't mean what makes us want to live; but what keeps us alive. These are 2 different things. Liam Neesons character isn't trying to stay alive, he's just trying not to die. He shows us in the first few minutes of the film that he doesn't want to live. Human instinct; to stay alive however is both a blessing and curse in this case. The film captures every aspect of what a person would feel going through a life or death situation; whether it's your life or someone else's. If you look at this from a "realistic" perspective...how could you know this scenario, what to feel and how to act unless you've actually been chased by wolves, post commercial airline crash?
My recommendation is to watch the film as if you've lost something in your life that means so much to you, you'd rather be dead then to have lost it in the first place.
