A Lonely Place to Die is too good to be labelled as a misfire, but that final half our or so, comes pretty close to ruining it. The fact that it starts with such a confident, breathless, level of suspense, its such a shame that it couldn't be maintained throughout.

It looks incredible. The location photography makes Scotland look like it should be the location for every film from now on.

Rather enjoyable, if paper thin and ridiculous.

If you only ever see the first half an hour of this, you have still got your money's worth.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

So, this was real shitty. It would've been great if they had just stuck to aerial shots of rural Scotland the whole film but they screwed it up when the "actors" started talking. If you have to see it, grab the subtitles ferfooksaykes.

This movie should have been titled "Shitty Climbers that Suck at Climbing Getting Shot at by Dumb Criminals that Can't Aim for Shit"

In the end, it's just a lame, boring euro-gangster movie masquerading as Cliffhanger, but without the brilliant acting depth of Sylvester Stallone.

It's pretty much a made for T.V movie.

I agree with other reviews that for the most part it was all very compelling story. But then the last 20mins happened and it just didn't seem to fit in very well with everything else.

A bit unbelievable but different sort of story that I didn't know where it was going until about halfway through. The cinematography and setting in Scotland made it worth the watch. The audio on the DVD was great as well.

This film deteriorates as it goes on.Its fine up in the mountains but as soon as they got off i lost interest.

The movie has a decent first 3/4, but the last 1/4 has a mood change to the film's detriment. It has some good intense climbing scenes in the first half, a thrilling cat and mouse game in the 2nd half, and 1 death scene that caught me completely off guard. It's worth watching, but not worth buying, IMHO. Better than your average indy.

To quote @ultraculture - "Five cunts go up a mountain. Far too many come down".

Nice little thriller, but nothing to get too excited about.

In Scotland, mountain climbers free a young girl held captive in an underground chamber. By doing this they are persued by the girl's kidnappers who are getting a large ransom for her. Nice edge of your seat thriller.

El primer acto de "A Lonely Place to Die" es prometedor ya que anuncia un envolvente thriller en las montañas escocesas (aunque el acento de Melissa George sea desconcertante) pero algo curioso sucede despues ya que la cinta desciende a los cliches mas ridiculos y baratos que uno puede encontrar. Es muy decepcionante ver como la historia se colapsa y se convierte en una persecución donde los villanos son hombres armados sin personalidad.
"A Lonely Place to Die" contiene una buena fotografia y un inicio efectivo pero al final termina como un thriller sumamente mediocre de secuestradores. Simplemente es una idea interesante que nunca fue desarrollada.

A solid, tense thriller that will get to anyone who has a problem with heights on the edge of their seat. Effective and beautifully shot, the performances are nothing to rave about, but also nothing to fault. And the change of location for the third act breathes life, in the form of fresh aesthetic opportunities, into what might have otherwise become a little formulaic. A solid outing.
