Noomi Rapace in Black Crab (2022)

Goofs

Black Crab

Edit

Continuity

The shape of the scar under Edh's lower lip between scenes.
Granvik and Nylund are much closer to Edh at 1:05'32" when she is lying on the ice and tells them to "stop, the ice won't hold" than in the very next shot (reversed angle).
A very small piece of dried blood hangs from Edh's right nostril at 1:32'06"; it was not present in the previous shot and disappears in the next shots.

Factual errors

At the bunker, battling the snow camouflage clad enemy, Edh shoots her assault rifle until her magazine is empty. After that, her trigger still clicks four times. Without the recoil of the previous round or manual cocking, there is no trigger or firing pin action.
Malik says he wants to see the Stanley Cup finals between the Capitals and Rangers. The Capitals and Rangers both play in the Eastern Conference (as well as the Metropolitan Division) and it would be impossible for them to meet in the finals. The Staley Cup Finals is played between the Eastern and Western Conference champions so at best the 2 teams would face each other in the conference finals.
The seawater is almost homogeneously frozen everywhere they are going (apart from one specific area) as if it were a lake.
An unconscious patient would not be left alone and on their back in a hospital bed without being intubated and with a remote monitoring and alarm system.
Granvik tells his story about having had to dig a grave, then having to climb up the bodies. He does not mention the fact that the grave was covered with dirt by the enemy. There is no need to dig a hole to cover up mass shooting if you don't cover it up afterwards.

Revealing mistakes

Dead people's eyes do not shut easily (it requires functioning muscles and nerves to lower the upper eyelids), and would definitely not stay shut by just gently pushing down the upper eyelids (a very common mistake in movies).
There is very little current when Edh jumps through the hole and in the water (easily swims to and back from the captain) and yet the captain is already very far away underwater.
Malik's shot wound should be bleeding much more if he just put a single layer of gauze or dressing on it and he would have died within minutes without a strong and firm compression dressing.
Obvious "stunt" double for Rapace when her character is seen skating from behind in a wide shot at 1:18'29": the stunt has a much better skating technique than the actress.
When in the ship after Edh says she sees lights on the ice, there is a flicker of light over Nylund's shoulder from a lighthouse.

Plot holes

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.
It is not conceivable that the helicopter would have missed Edh so many times and not pursue her after she hides under the pier.
The helicopter pilot, co-pilot and crew (revealed to be several soldiers) did not spot the soldiers rushing out of their hideaway.
The soldiers claim they're attacked by the helicopter because the enemy spotted their light, yet the couple on the island is showing a light from the boathouse unmolested in an evacuation zone.
If the ice is too thick for a boat to get through, as we're told, it should be thick enough for a truck to drive over.

Character error

An injured soldier knows they have to properly tend their wounds. There is no reason Malik did not apply a proper pressure dressing as soon as he was shot (a very Hollywoodian bout of so-called heroism).
Granvik wears a red cap. Not the greatest camouflage in the snow.
A good sniper does not blink when shooting.
There is no reason why the soldiers do not tell Malik off when he insists on them keeping their bleed pack for themselves. Surely, they must tend to his wounds straight away to save his life.
Apart from Ardalan Esmaili, all the actors show very basic skating skills.
