Historic and well-made
Not as good as i expected
Average WW2 lacking enough big budget
The movie is yet another "Convoy" movie from WW2 , and does a decent job of telling the story of arctic convoys that shipped goods across Atlantic to Soviet union, to Murmansk.
I somewhat feel the movie is suffering from not enough of a budget.
Yes, there are action scenes, but throughout the movie you expect more from the movie such as perhaps a chase from German navy.
And not once you see inside enemy vessels and air planes, you get a distant CGI feeling of it since this is a very budget movie.
Also, the Norwegian and Swedish actors are a bit dull and lacks emotion. It is a bit too much yet another day on the job and
acting lacks energy.
Overall, it is a decent movie. Somebody said it is a bit better than "Narvik", but I totally disagree. "Narvik" is a way better movie with a bigger budget and proper battle scenes.
So the movie is just an average meh from me.
And also I highly disliked that the movie stopped short, not showing the ship getting to its goal of delivering goods in Murmansk. Way too much time of the movie instead contained lengthy and somewhat boring scenes.
