A lone Norwegian freighter braves Nazi U-boats and bombers in a desperate attempt to supply Russian soldiers during World War II. Inspired by real events, The Arctic Convoy shines a deserving spotlight on the heroic civilian sailors who risked death on treacherous open waters. Cargo ships were vital arteries of hope against the Germans but were easy targets for merciless submarines and aerial assault. The Arctic Convoy explores the constant vigilance, fear, and internal strife faced in close quarters and rough seas under duress. Its taut interpersonal drama and well-executed action scenes are admirable. But the film does suffer from sluggish pacing and strained exposition that muddies the runtime.
