He’s run up against an unwritten Golden Rule: mining boss Sean McLennon (Caan) has the gold – and he makes the rules. In this wilderness action saga directed by Nils Gaup (“Pathfinder”), McLennon falsely claims the rich lode Hudson vows to protect because it’s on sacred Inuit land. Hudson has McLennon’s mistress (McCormack) taken hostage after McLennon and his murderous gang strike at him. Mushing through storms, clambering up glassy cliffs, hacking to the surface from beneath an ice-capped lake, Hudson scrambles to stay alive and lethal. McLennon may have firepower. But in North Star territory, its Hudson’s fighting savvy that’s good as gold. Special Features • Theatrical trailer
