A savage film made even more desolate by the realisation that anyone might be an enemy no matter how innocent they look. The terror of crossing the ice, thin at times, the riskk of falling through, coming across frozen bodies seemingly in their hundreds under the ice. The collapse of civilization is vividly captured. Even before the mission begins she has a life and death struggle with feral bandits, intent on robbing her vehicle. She constantly thinks of her missing daughter, snatched earlier in the war.

Noomi Rapace is a conscripted soldier chosen for a special mission, she must join a group skating across ice behind enemy lines to deliver a package to an isolated facility. So reminiscent of what's happening in Ukraine right now. The war continues during a bleak winter, buildings are largely destroyed yet improbably still standing. No explanation is given for the cause of the conflict. Sweden is divided by a savage civil war, civilians are targeted. Reviewed by Pairic 7 / 10 Civil War On The Iceīlack Crab: This SF/War film is no classic but is far better than what some critics say.
