This is one of the best films I've ever seen. The isolation of the frozen landscape, combined with the determination of a man alone in his refusal to allow his spirit to be broken, is nothing short of awesome. Vivaldi's hauntingly beautiful music used to breathtaking effect conveys the inevitability of the end this man knows he will meet, but he will meet it as a free man.
Love how Manny and Rankin are face to face ("just you and me") and how it is juxtaposed with them face to face at the beginning when Rankin was free and Manny was the prisoner. At the end, it was the other way around. And I really love all the solemn faces of the prisoners that their hero is gone but Jonah smiles knowing his friend is free. One of my favorite films EVER.
