A jég ellen

Triviális film, amely paradox módon sem túlélési izgalmakat, sem narratív kalandot nem kínál, és az egyetlen feszültséget a központi szereplők közötti paranoia néhány jelenetében érezhetjük. Meglepően gyenge egy izlandi-dán produkcióhoz képest, északi helyszínekről. Még a látványt sem lehet kiemelni, rutinosan és fantázia nélkül kezelik. (2022.03.10)

An average chilling survival-adventure film from Netflix. A bit of a disappointment for me, unfortunately. This year's survival duel so far is won by Gold, which I found to be a class above in almost every way. Here I fell asleep twice at first and finished watching more out of politeness. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is likeable and Joe Cole, after his excellent role in Gangs of London, seemed a bit underused here. The film is based on true events and that's one of the reasons why not much happens. Apart from the polar bear scene, which could have been more intense in the style of The Revenant, but it's still probably the best scene of the whole film, which is perhaps a little sad. The chilly atmosphere works, the production design is nice. and the plot isn't completely stupid, it's just unfortunately quite boring and the digression from survival in the second half didn't suit me at all. The film will definitely find its fans, but I'm glad it’s over. Similar to Mads Mikkelsen’s Arctic. Story 3/5, Action 2/5, Humor 0/5, Violence 2/5, Fun 2/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 3/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 3/5, Emotion 2/5, Actors 3/5. 5.5/10. (2022.03.10)
