Movie Haiku:In 2008 eleven climbers died on K2 (the 2nd highest peak in the world after Everest). While visually capturing a phenomenal location, doc presents a muddled story poorly melding interviews & reenactments that make it impossible to discern probable truth separated from actual fiction. People acted recklessly--starting down way too late--and paid a terrible price.
