Gold Run - Le convoi de l'impossible

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
