The Ice Road (2021)
1/10
Awful. Really awful

Warning: Spoilers
Predictable story. Poorly written script. Terrible acting. Laughable special effects.

The whole movie made me cringe with disbelief that not only Liam Neeson took part in it but also Laurence Fishburne too! The trucks and their loads defied physics and time. They were supposed to be hauling wellheads that weigh 25 tonnes yet the trucks were slinging their trailers around like they were empty and made of plastic!

The actors and direction defied time too. At one point they had to pull a truck and trailer back onto the road, unhook the trailer, dig it out of the snow, hook the trailer back up to another truck (which would've taken most of a day at least, yet the film made it look like they did it in 10 mins) and deliver the wellhead in 45 mins.

The props were so poor to the extent that towing cables which are supposed to be several inches thick, made of braided steel and freeze virtually solid in sub-zero temperatures, moved around like wet spaghetti, they were obviously made of rope.

Awful film.
