This movie is based on real events (Flight of the Norwegian National Treasury) that is not that well known among most people and as a story it works fine. I didn't originally know the details of the actual event so I wasn't sure how much is true. One thing I did look up was the female character Nini who looked like a modern invention to add some women to an otherwise male war. She fought in Spain during the civil war and here she suddenly helps out her secretary brother rescuing the gold from the Germans. Nini Gleditsch is for real indeed, and even the flamboyant Norwegian poet Nordahl Grieg was on this journey. It is otherwise well-known that he died in an air raid over Berlin.

(For good measure they could even have included Norway's legendary prime minister Einar Gerhardsen in the film, but they have left him out.)

All in all, it's a good and uncomplicated movie about Norway in WW2 and one of the few highlights in the defence.

It's a primarily fictional David and Goliath story of the historical transport of Norway's gold reserve away from the advancing German army in April-May 1940.

Fredrik Haslund (Jon Oigarden), the secretary of the Labor Party's parliamentary group in Norway and a historical figure, leads the effort to get 50 tons of gold out of Oslo to British ships for transport to England. His sister, Nini (Ida Elise Broch), also becomes deeply involved.

The film follows Haslund and the gold as they go north narrowly ahead of the Germans. Other primary film characters are the real-life poet Nordahl Grieg (Morten Svartveit), Bank Manager Andreas Lund (Gard B. Eidsvold), Major Bjorn Sunde (Elvind Sander), and two fictional ordinary men, Odd Henry (Sven Nordin) and bank clerk Ingvar Berge (Axel Boyum). Major Otto Stoltmann (Anatole Taubman) leads the German pursuit.

"Gold Run" is mostly a fun action picture, with humor provided by Odd Henry and Ingvar Berge, who offer contrasting perspectives throughout. Haslund is meticulous to a fault, much to the dismay of Major Sunde. As expected, Norwegian creativity prevails over dogged German efforts.

"Gold Run" exaggerates events and lifts tension beyond the believable too often for my satisfaction. Thus, it's entertaining but far from historical accuracy.

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.

I am shocked by the negative reviews here and I'm wondering whether we watched the same film! I was on the edge of my seat throughout, the characters were excellent and I could feel their pain, frustration and joy. It opened my eyes to a piece of history that I knew very little about and it left me feeling so grateful for the comfort we live in today.

The characters were relatable and human. I felt a connection to each one, in particular Haslund. The cast did an excellent job in bringing them to life and within minutes I was truly rooting for each character. They are both likeable and yet fallible, and I think it is the characters that really make the film great.

I'll admit that the plot is simple, but I don't think that this is a bad thing. It was still filled with drama and emotion and it was thrilling and engaging throughout. The simpler plot also allowed for the characters to be explored more, and this they did well so I never felt bored.

This may not technically be the best film ever made, but this is still one of my favourites. I felt drawn into this film and I felt the highs and the lows of the characters and their journey. Perhaps it could have been more complex, perhaps it could have been deeper, but I don't think it needed to be. It was engaging, emotional and exciting, and I don't think a film can be anything more than that.

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.

This is how all thrillers should be. Haven't see such an awesome action packed thriller in a long time. Was kept at the edge of my seat the whole time. Not a second of dull moment. The acting, the back ground score, all aspects of the movie I found fabulous. Even though watched it in a non English language , still was able to enjoy it very much using the subtitles. In this action packed thriller there are also some elements of comedy, A treat for the whole family. After watching this, war movies have become my new favourite. Kudos to all those involved in the film, the story, the direction, the acting, the music , the war scenes, all excellent. War time imagery was created to perfection, looked so real. Looking forward to more such movies from the makers of this film. Truly a movie that deserves tons of accolades. Excellent, Bravo, and thank you.

Great cast of actors, an exciting historical event and it falls like a dud after 5 minutes. To summarize.... Midway (ww2) remake was the worst war movie made topping Pearl Harbor with terrible lines, acting etc... this topped those by far.

Where to start. Storyline was good... Sven Nordin did not fit in at all. No chemistry...Axel Bøyum acted like it was a slapstick comedy skit. Horrible. Ida Else Broch was god awful. When time is of the essence, Germans were on their tail like most of the characters.... They smiled, were relaxed and just were not serious enough. Eivind Sander acted like he was in Neste Sommer. Too dumb.

To add to the misery....of the audience...German actor Anatole Taubman who had a small but brilliant role in Band of Brothers was god awful. Going from car chase to co-pilot seat in seconds (good vs evil). Omg could it get worse? No.... I put myself out of my misery by dropping the last 15 minutes.

To his credit Jon Øigarden was the best of the cast and took his role seriously. Btw Thorbjørn Harr acted like he was only paid for 30 seconds and gave 5 seconds of effort. Uff....

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.

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.

I love a good war movie and this is one of them! Based on a true story...

The story: Norwegians have to safeguard their countries biggest gold supply from when the Nazis invade their country at the very start of World War II. Will they be able to flee with the gold transport to Sweden before the Nazis take hold of it? THAT's the contineous CLIFFHANGER...

The good; I would like to award it 7,5 stars. It's contineous suspense and solid acting performances and a tightknit direction with beautiful photography are to be thanked for that.

Any bad? The leading actor isnt the most charismatic Norwegian actor. The story furthermore does not tread new roads in the war movie genre. It's kind of a formula picture, but a really solid one.

Wardramas from real life happenings, are usually wellmade and feels very authentic, and that it was viasat that laid the tramway for this production is quite surprising and follows tha norwegian gold standard of good moviemaking.

Its about the transportation of the gold belonging to bank of norway, and safing it to wherever safe might be in the situation of war, though ive been reading alot about this scenario, i was pleasantly surprised by the freestyling the plotmakers have done to enhance the tension... it has tension everywhere and the soundeffects and musical score enhance the drama in a lovely manner

most of all i applaude the acts of this movie. Norwegian actors are usually like duracell-rabbits on steroids whatever genre it is, the director has released some of this makim-vocabulars of eastnorwegian dialect before the shoots, therefore the grumpy old mans acclaim and recommend.

Few things are as frustrating as a film that has all the right ingredients to be compelling but utterly fails to deliver on every front. Guldtransport, a film that attempts to capture the high-stakes urgency of the Norwegian gold transport during World War II, ends up being nothing more than a painfully uninspired and hollow cinematic experience. From its unimaginative cinematography to its flat character development and complete lack of tension, this movie is a masterclass in wasted potential.

One of the most egregious flaws of Guldtransport is its completely unremarkable cinematography. In an era where even low-budget films manage to create visually stunning and immersive experiences, this movie fails to do even the bare minimum. The shots are dull and static, offering no sense of urgency or grandeur. There is no attempt at creative framing, lighting, or any visual storytelling that might elevate the tension or excitement. The action sequences, which should be gripping and intense, feel like they were choreographed with the enthusiasm of a student film project. Even the most crucial moments lack any visual flair, leaving the audience disengaged and indifferent.

A Protagonist Without Depth, a film of this nature relies heavily on a strong and compelling protagonist-someone the audience can root for, whose struggles and triumphs feel meaningful. Unfortunately, Guldtransport offers a protagonist so devoid of personality and depth that it becomes nearly impossible to care about his journey. His motivations are vague at best, and his emotional depth is virtually nonexistent. There is no meaningful arc, no transformation, and no reason to invest in his character. It is as if he is simply moving through the film, fulfilling plot points rather than truly experiencing the harrowing journey the story is meant to depict.

A Laughably One-Dimensional Antagonist, the German officer, presumably meant to serve as a menacing and intelligent antagonist, is one of the most uninspired and forgettable villains in recent historical cinema. He embodies every cliché of a generic Nazi officer without any nuance or complexity. He is not menacing, he is not strategic, and he certainly does not feel like the formidable threat he should be. Instead, he is a cardboard cutout of a villain, offering no real opposition or tension. His motivations are shallow, and his presence in the film barely registers as a legitimate challenge to the protagonists. When the stakes are supposed to be at their highest, his lack of charisma and menace makes everything feel trivial rather than urgent.

The One Saving Grace: The Norwegian Officer, the only character who manages to offer a glimpse of intrigue is the Norwegian officer. Unlike the protagonist, he displays moments of genuine emotion and strategic thinking. He is the only character who feels remotely fleshed out, and his interactions add a much-needed layer of complexity to the otherwise lifeless script. However, his presence is not enough to save the film from its overwhelming mediocrity. He is simply a single bright spot in an otherwise dark and dreary cinematic landscape.
