Operation Schwarze Krabbe

This movie's cinematography and vfx were top notch. The environments they were in, the action scenes, etc... This could of been great, but the writers totally screwed this one up. So many plot holes, so many unanswered questions, and characters that were hard to connect with because you have no idea who they really are.

I get it. Why so many people seem disappointed. No. It's not a BIG hollywood production. And, as some have pointed out, it's dark and bleak. But it's a decent story well told and, in my book/opinion, that deserves at least a 7.

Sure there are better, similary movies, but...the one thing i was disappointed by was that it seems to falsely represent itself as a 'post apocalyptic' story when that isn't the case. It might GET to be the case, but...not throughout most of the film. So really, it's more an action adventure/war type movie.

The acting was convincing. Rapace and her costars pulling off their roles.

Well. My minimum character limit has been met, so...d-d-d-dat's all folks. Cue the music.

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.

Pretty decent movie, the plot is rather original and intriguing. The setup and scenes was nice and realistic, the acting wasn't overacted and convincing. The actions and intensity were just fine the keeps the story interesting, which was not any boring as the reviewers wrongly suggests, it's entertaining enough for the length of two hours. Don't understand the low raters, maybe coz it's not in english? Or a superhero movie with non stop guns blazing actions by disney, or other big studios that pays for fake reviews? A lot of recent netflix movies were underrated, and honestly this deserves a 6+, which is better than a lot of overrated movies out there.

A bit of a different twist on the post apocalyptic war movie, grim and dark and full of crackling ice and brooding synth drones, with a distinctly Scandinavian flavour. Nice to see a film like this done reasonably well in a language other than English.

Unfortunately it gets mostly undone by the usual cheesy character motivations, as the only thing our selfish "hero" cares about is a family member, not so much about the fate of every other human on the planet. Which in itself would be annoying enough as it is, but it's even worse when it causes the whole first 90% of the movie to become pointless when we reach the final 10%.
