Gulltransporten

Gold Run promised to be a gripping war drama. However, I could not avoid laughing at unexpected moments.

The film's saving grace lies in its remarkable visual effects. The cinematography captures the chaos of war with gritty realism.

Unfortunately, the character development falls flat. The actors seem trapped in caricatures rather than fully fleshed-out roles. The protagonists lack depth. Similarly, Anatole Taubman, portraying the Nazi officer, resorts to clichés rather than genuine complexity.

War dramas typically evoke somber emotions, but Gold Run could not make you feel that. If you are looking for a more authentic war drama, you'll likely find yourself disappointed.

The story sounds risky as a movie but rather early in the film solid characters are established and as much drama and fun as possible is generated from the events that actually took place. The best bits are, rather unlikely, entirely true, like the presence of the poet.

The suspence is constantly turned up as the reality of invasion becomes more and more serious. The action parts are spectacular and very well directed, always cranking up the emotional investment and describing civilian angst in a nation that hadn't seen war for over 100 years.

This was an very enjoyable movie, only held back by some slighter predictabilities with character developments.

Gulltrasnpoten presents a thrilling narrative centered around the historical transport of Norway's gold reserve amidst the chaos of World War II. Jon Oigarden delivers a compelling performance as Fredrik Haslund, leading the charge to safeguard the nation's wealth from the encroaching German forces. Supported by a strong ensemble cast including Ida Elise Broch and Sven Nordin, the film navigates the perilous journey with tension and suspense.

Visually, the movie captures the intensity of the era with impressive cinematography and meticulous attention to detail. The Norwegian landscape serves as a stark backdrop to the unfolding drama, enhancing the authenticity of the wartime setting. Directorial choices effectively convey the urgency of the mission, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats throughout.

Despite its historical basis, "Gulltrasnpoten " occasionally takes liberties with the events, amplifying the drama to cinematic proportions. While this may detract from the overall accuracy, it adds to the entertainment value, offering a thrilling ride for viewers. The inclusion of comedic elements provides a welcome contrast to the tension, adding depth to the characters and their interactions.

Overall, the movie succeeds as a gripping war thriller, offering audiences a compelling glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of history. While some performances may falter and dramatic embellishments abound, the film delivers an engaging cinematic experience that resonates long after the credits roll.

The transport of the Norwegian gold and silver which started on the day Norway got occupied by the German war machine April 9th 1940 is an amazing story, but the story seem to be over dramatized.

The film is well made, with solid effects and good quality, and this is in fact the mot expensive Norwegian move made for streaming ever, made by Viaplay for their streaming services all across.

A solid A-team of Norwegian actors are doing well in the movie, but it's sad that a couple of them, especially Axel Bøyum is acting this as it was a comedy. Why?

Well, that said. Apart from this the film is rather entertaining, and it does what it should; Make you read about the true story.

This movie, about the true story of the effort to evacuate the entire Norwegian gold reserve out of Norway during the German invasion of Norway in World War II to keep the gold out of Germany's hands, is a fantastic docudrama movie!

It is far from flawless. Some of the supporting actors give pretty mediocre performances, the dialogue is a bit on the simple side, and it is clear the movie draws inspiration from others-at times it feels a little like a wannabe. That said, there is still a lot to love! I am a sucker for cinematic movies that lean into cinematography, sound design, score, and effects-and Gold Run really nails those elements, especially for a Norwegian production. Plus, it is based on a true story, which stirs up a bit of national pride and reminds us how lucky we are today-85 years later.

This movie is not perfect, but its visuals, sound, and true story stand out. Despite flaws, it captures a proud moment in Norwegian history and stirs national spirit.
