★★★★ – Times. At the height of the Great Depression a prisoner (Ethan Hawke) bargains for his freedom by joining a treacherous gold-smuggling expedition.

"★★★★ – What elevates the material further is the intensity of Hawke's characterisation and the quiet maturity that the 55-year-old brings to the role." – Times

"The combination of desperate men, greed and the most nerve-shredding rope bridge scene since William Friedkin’s Sorcerer makes for a gripping, old-school outlaw thriller." – Observer

When Samuel (Hawke) is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal prison, Warden Clancy (Crowe) offers a high-stakes proposition: smuggle gold out of a remote mine with a dangerous crew of prisoners and Samuel will win his freedom. But as the group journeys into the unforgiving wilderness, the real threat isn’t the terrain – it’s the betrayal and violence festering within their ranks. Surrounded by greed, suspicion, and danger, Samuel must risk everything to reunite with his child.
