The Ice Road 2021

So the bad guys are cardboard-characters - doesn't make much difference.

The female protagonist actually lost a round against a male antagonist where we get to ask ourself how she gets out of that (didn't expect that to happen in a movie with A-Listers this day and age) - well done!

Opposed to others I think the pair of brothers works really well - damn I cried when he died. Which was a bit unexpected. I half expected that Mike dies and Tantoo pairs up with Mike buying the Rig he always wanted.

Gurty's death leaves me a bit shattered, so the character building definitely worked better than in most stuff that comes out these days.

And yeah, like others pointed out - the mine collapse itself isn't important, thats just background noise, like most NPCs in a videogame: necessary for ambience only.

In conclusion I give this 8/10, it stirred real feelings and I can count the movies who did that in recent time with my fingers.
