Ratings and reviews

I rented this from my local library. I thought wow even though this Man's family children and possibly his brother and a sister-in-law's family have been brutally murdered, he still has enough of a conscience to think after he kills the first couple of guys "why am I doing this this doesn't make me any better than them" excellent drama that reminds us that this world was a very violent place in the beginning. No prisons no judges no cops nothing but kill or be killed based on revenge

One of the best films I have watched in years. A Moses inspired story line sprinkled throughout with scenes woven in that hint at the birth of religion. Set in the Italian Alps in 3300 BC, the story is told with no intelligible dialogue but you hardly notice. The acting is so good that words are unnecessary because they convey so well the heartbreaking humanity of our species violent history, and our search for something better Think 'Death Wish" Noir acted superbly. The only reason for this film to have gone unnoticed that I can think of is the name. There are dozens of Ice Man type movies and this one seem to have been lost in the media muddle.

Excellent movie. Well worth the price. No exploding cars and no weapons that never run out of ammunition. Just some good acting and a good story.
