Picture this: a war-torn world where Sweden’s on the ropes, battling shadowy invaders amid blizzards and a creeping virus. Enter Caroline Edh (Noomi Rapace, channeling that fierce Girl with the Dragon Tattoo vibe), a battle-hardened soldier haunted by her missing daughter. She’s thrust into Operation Black Crab—a suicide squad skating across a treacherous frozen sea to deliver a game-changing package that could flip the war. Directed by Adam Berg, this Swedish thriller chills to the bone with its stark, haunting visuals: endless ice fields under stormy skies, blades slicing through frost like knives.

The action pops—tense shootouts, cracking floes threatening to swallow the team whole—but it’s the quiet dread that lingers, pondering blind loyalty in endless conflict. Rapace anchors it all with raw grit, backed by a solid ensemble facing moral quagmires. At 114 minutes, it’s brisk yet bleak, blending The Revenant’s survival edge with dystopian twists. Not flawless—some plot holes and a dour vibe might frost you out—but if you dig atmospheric thrills over explosions, this one’s a slippery gem worth the chill. Stream it on Netflix and brace for the freeze!
