The Ice Road★★ 

It’s always good to have films rooted in the realities of life and human nature. The kind of stories that show how special close relationships are and in keeping them for as long as possible. Sadly, it’s the only solace you’ll get from this film. When miners get trapped in a cave, and only ice truck drivers can save the day. Ice Road is an action-drama story about ice truck driving and the dangers surrounding it. This film reminded me of the American reality TV Series Ice Road Truckers. Only, this had a horror atmosphere with memorable graphic deathly scenes. This movie is a fictional story based on a dangerous real-life occupation. It had the potential to be better and not just pass through as a distraction film. Not to mention having Liam Neeson and Laurence Fishburne together was exciting until the movie started. Generally, it’s a heavy film with an aim too many to deliver a clear message. Consequently, a low expectation and an open mind will aid in enjoying this film more than you anticipate if you have spare time.
