A Swedish action thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by war. During a long, harsh winter, six soldiers embark on a covert mission across a frozen archipelago, risking their lives to transport a mysterious package that could end the war. As they enter hostile enemy territory, they have no idea what dangers lie ahead or who - if anyone - they can trust. But for speed skater turned soldier Caroline Edh, the mission is about something else entirely.

7/10

i'm sorry that my rating won't affect the, already, low rating.

I get it. Why so many people seem disappointed. No. It's not a BIG hollywood production. And, as some have pointed out, it's dark and bleak. But it's a decent story well told and, in my book/opinion, that deserves at least a 7.

Sure there are better, similary movies, but...the one thing i was disappointed by was that it seems to falsely represent itself as a 'post apocalyptic' story when that isn't the case. It might GET to be the case, but...not throughout most of the film. So really, it's more an action adventure/war type movie.

The acting was convincing. Rapace and her costars pulling off their roles.

Well. My minimum character limit has been met, so...d-d-d-dat's all folks. Cue the music.

Trivia
Some scenes were filmed in the "Bahnhof" server storage cave; most famous for being the wiki leaks server's base.

Goofs
So they're reduced to sending soldiers on skates to a base hidden behind enemy lines, but then what seems like every Chinook ever built (does Sweden even operate the Chinook?) is available to evacuate that base, without any regard for the overpowering enemy forces that supposedly prevented them from just flying the vials to the base in a Chinook in the first place.

Quotes
Colonel Raad: If you succeed we win the war. You're free to leave the army, to go where ever you want, with immediate effect. If you fail, all is lost. Not just for you, but for all of us. Any questions?
Caroline Edh: A hundred nautical miles on skates? Over salt water ice, in the dark, behind enemy lines? It's a suicide mission, Colonel.
