Charlize Theron's extraordinary physicality and commitment to her own stunts are jaw-dropping, while Taron Egerton brings a wonderfully unhinged energy to their intense, high-stakes dynamic. Even though the narrative beats follow a fairly formulaic, predictable path with somewhat thin character development, Baltasar Kormákur's riveting direction and breathtaking wilderness set pieces ensure a gripping, visceral cinematic ride from start to finish.

This might not be the most original thing in the world, but it is executed well and the characters are relatable enough to build tension. That makes the moments of fright more engaging and leaves you ultimately quite satisfied. The casting is fantastic, and of course the locales where this is shot are breathtaking. It's really not a bad movie, and I recommend it.
