A young woman is raised just outside of the Arctic Circle to be ever-vigilant and deliberate. Her ex-CIA operative father pushes her to be better than him. Then, she decides that she's mature enough to activate his recall beacon, which is an action endorsed by her father. Little does she know the hell that will follow.
I really enjoyed this film. The simplicity of a northern lifestyle always interests me. The film strikes me as a cross between Run Lola, Run and The Bourne Identity. But it's more than just a combination of the two. Perhaps I got lost in the title character's blue eyes? I wish the back story had been better developed. Highly recommended action film.
