Maybe NCW's Best Movie So Far
As I am sure with most people I became a fan of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from Game of Thrones. Since then I have happily sought out his films and have been pleased with the results thus far.
Against the Ice is just one more reason to be, and stay, a fan of his.
This is great story telling. Now it surely helps that the actual real life events that this is based on were incredible but that doesn't always guarantee a great movie.
Against the Ice does tremendous justice to the story. The acting is top notch with the emotions portrayed earnestly rather than OTT for the sake of drama. There is enough drama in the story, they didn't need to ham it up.
Highly recommended :) - arclinecreative - 19 February 2023
FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY!!!
I've been watching a number of movies on Netflix with great disappointment. This was not the case with "Against the Ice." The film is so well done - well-written and directed. I was engaged from the very start and to think that this is based on true events is incredible. I would highly recommend it to anyone who truly wants to watch a great film. I will probably watch it again in the near future. Personally, I can't stand some people for more than a day (and I'm sure the feeling is mutual). To think that they endured each other's company for close to three years is amazing. It amazes me that some of the best movies we never seem to hear about.
