Based upon the Icelandic film Á annan veg, DGG manages to make it seem worthwhile and completely different with a simple setting change and culture, unlike so many other American remakes. It follows the exact same story of two highway roadworkers lost in isolation as they work in a burnt down forest but by the simple changes it arrives at an entirely different conclusion that is haunting, thoughtful and quite frankly, brilliant.
It's funny, reflective, beautiful and most of all, not at all what it may seem until you really give it some thought afterwards.
