Black Crab: This SF/War film is no classic but is far better than what some critics say. Sweden is divided by a savage civil war, civilians are targeted. No explanation is given for the cause of the conflict. The war continues during a bleak winter, buildings are largely destroyed yet improbably still standing. Refugees are everywhere. So reminiscent of what's happening in Ukraine right now. Noomi Rapace is a conscripted soldier chosen for a special mission, she must join a group skating across ice behind enemy lines to deliver a package to an isolated facility. She constantly thinks of her missing daughter, snatched earlier in the war. Even before the mission begins she has a life and death struggle with feral bandits, intent on robbing her vehicle. The collapse of civilization is vividly captured. The terror of crossing the ice, thin at times, the riskk of falling through, coming across frozen bodies seemingly in their hundreds under the ice. A savage film made even more desolate by the realisation that anyone might be an enemy no matter how innocent they look. Helicopter gunships like birds of prey overhead. A good near future thriller with a few flaws and twists in its tail. Directed and Co-Written by Adam Berg. On Netflix. 7/10.

Wow are you people WAY off the mark with this EXCELLENT thriller a 5.6 REALLY ?? What the hell else did you want???? Let's see..... Excellent cast with exceptional acting, phenomenal cinematography, intense filled story with enough action and drama to keep the 2 hours packed with EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT. And then a fantastic ending so ???? Anyway trust us disregard the ignorant naysayers that probably like garbage like jack ass the movie and wouldnt know a good film if it was explained to them while they watched it!! 5.6 what an insult and a fricking JOKE!! BRAVO TO THE CAST AND CREW I hope they know some of Americans have intelligence and taste!! Definitely will watch this film again and purchase the 4k bluray the DAY its released!! A solid 9 stars!!

At first I thought the film was too narrow but then I found it very tense and so the narrowness came into focus. This is a Swedish film so, to me, it was a plus. There's no hype about it or in it. Six people have been commanded to deliver a secret item to their comrades on an island. They need to skate 100 miles to get their destination because the ice is so thin. There is no mention why the item couldn't be flown to the destination so that part was just the drama that binds you to watching the film. You want to know what is going to happen because of the ice skating. The film has a moral dilemma to it and that's the best part. We learn that in that world there really are no good guys. That idea hit home for me because it reflects our world today.
