Against the Ice delivers all the delirious period drama thrills and survival horror angst that you could want from a movie with that title.
60
Against the Ice is very square, very straight, and just naggingly average in all departments.
60
Against the Ice is a Danish story flattened for a global audience.
50
A soft-edged, stolid blend of gorgeous geographical authenticity with a global-facing English-speaking cast whose accents range from Joe Cole’s Brit to co-producer, co-writer and leading man Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s mid-Atlantic purr.
50
Veteran Danish director Peter Flinth (“Beatles” and “Nobel’s Last Will” were his) delivers a film that feels approved by its co-writer and star in terms of thoroughness, but that lumbers as it passes from one waypoint to the next in the standard “alone in the Arctic” narrative.
