Followed Netflix productions for some time (Bright or Close), actress Noomi Rapace returns under the leadership of the streaming giant with Black Crab, post-apo film from a Swedish novel or a handful of soldiers must transport a secret cargo through a frozen lake of more than 180 km only with ice skates.
Post-apocalypse...
Any post-apocalyptic film it is (and not an extension of a science fiction film), one cannot stop thinking about the sad reality of things by watching this film. In the face of a panorama of landscapes destroyed by the ravages of a war that no one wants (and whose motivations remain deliberately blurred), a population hidden in rubble to survive or forced to enlist to defend itself, it is hard to believe that Black Crab (turned more than before the crisis in Ukraine) is taken from a 2002 novel!
On the casting side, Noomi Rapace, from the top of her 1m63 and accustomed to the roles of women both strong and fragile, overlooks the rest of the casting without problem. As a mother willing to do anything to find her missing daughter, even if she accepts a suicide mission, the unforgettable Lisbeth Salander de la saga Millennium gives as usual all that she has, making her partners on the screen quite fads, especially since she is the only one to have a background which makes her more easily identifiable and endearing to the spectators we are.
Escape from the Ice
At the realization level, we feel that Adam Berg, clipper of his state, seems influenced by the work of John Carpenter so much the snow-covered expanses at the The Thing This is a strong loan. Still you have to have the talent of the master of the fantastic... And that's where the bastard hurts!
For despite a few strong scenes (a basic attack in the middle of the night, the crossing of a part of the lake where several hundred bodies are trapped in the ice, a tragic encounter with a couple of pensioners) and a highly synthwave music, the realization is rather impersonal and finally telefilmesque. And this is not the last act of the film, which brings back the tension like a failed blow, which will make Black Crab a must of the genre as they were Mad Max or The Sons of Man in their time.
« It's 100 nautical miles, ice skating, frozen seawater, in the dark, behind enemy lines. It's a suicide mission, Colonel. »
Quickly forgotten even so far from being unpleasant to follow due to its fascinating history (at least three quarters) and its main interpreter, Black Crab by Adam Berg with Noomi Rapace is available on Netflix Since March 18.
