This true survival story probably should have contained more of an emotional punch because it is a remarkable tale. However, the filmmakers here appear content on more of a slow burn approach to retelling former pro hockey player and meth addict, at the time, Eric LeMarque's 8 days of hell lost on a snowy mountainside in Winterhaven. Combined with numerous depressing flashbacks, throughout the movie, depicting LeMarque's troubled life it all added up for me as not the easiest watch.
However,as you might guess from the title it does have a poignant ending, and the clips at the film's conclusion of the real Eric LeMarque and what he has done with his life offer an inspiring message of receiving and taking advantage of a second chance in life
