Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I thoroughly enjoyed this film. At first, I thought it would be another cheapie with an artic theme or one of those Disney concoctions suitable for a teen crowd. Not so,. Production values are first rate. Burt Young never looked so good. James Caan plays the psycho greedy bad man sans black hat, and even Christopher Lambert comes off well as a half indian-half white trying to prevent Caan and company from stealing claims to the gold diggings. (Someone mentioned the voice-overs didn't match the lip syncs; I never noticed there was any lip syncing and I don't think there was.) This film is pure adventure from start to finish and one that's a bargain at the very cheap price it's listed for at Amazon.

Nome, Alaska, in 1889 teems with new riches, but not for Hudson Santeek (Christopher Lambert of Highlander and Mortal Kombat). Hes run up against an unwritten Golden Rule: mining boss Sean McLennon (The Godfathers James Caan) has the gold and he makes the rules. In this wilderness action saga directed by Nils Gaup (Pathfinder), McLennon falsely claims the rich lode Hudson vows to protect because its on sacred Inuit land. Hudson has McLennons mistress (Catherine McCormack of Braveheart) taken hostage after McLennon and his murderous gang strike at him. Mushing through storms, clambering up glassy cliffs, hacking to the surface from beneath an ice-capped lake, Hudson scrambles to stay alive and lethal. McLennon may have firepower. But in North Star territory, its Hudsons fighting savvy thats good as gold.
