Okay, this is a low budget flick that wants to be big, but to its credit is a villain with foibles. When the baddie in this flick gets altitude sickness, it grounds this picture in reality and adds depth to the villain's character. When he keeps climbing because of his avarice...stopping at nothing to collect his money atop the mountain, we cannot help but delight in his worsening physical state. Heidi Noelle Lenhart is no Julia Roberts but is highly watchable nonetheless. Perhaps this script would have been better with more money behind it, since the characters and dialogue are quite good. Overall, this film kept me watching.
