I did not get to see all of the movie, only the last 40 minutes but I believe that was probably when most of the action occurred. I thought it was a beautiful film and I was on the edge of my seat. Malcolm McDowell is one of my favorite actors. Especially when he is a villain. He was perfect for this role with his eyes bulging out of his head and the evil insanity that blazed from them. I almost fell for that trick at the end where in his madness, McDowell truly believed that he was murdering all of them when in actuality it was just a delusion before his pitiful death. I don't believe he would have ever survived that avalanche but hey, it is Hollywood!
