Black Crab

This Swedish action thriller follows six soldiers sent on a covert mission to transport a mysterious package across a frozen archipelago without knowing what dangers lie ahead or who - if anyone - they can trust

In the Swedish thriller Black Crab, a small group of soldiers is sent on a dangerous mission to ice-skate across enemy lines and deliver a mysterious cargo that could end a brutal war - Netflix


Black Crab, Netflix


A bit of a different twist on the post-apocalyptic war movie, grim and dark and full of crackling ice and brooding synth drones, with a distinctly Scandinavian flavor. Nice to see a film like this done reasonably well in a language other than English.

Unfortunately, it gets undone mainly by the usual cheesy character motivations. The only thing our selfish "hero" cares about is a family member, not so much about the fate of every other human on the planet.
