Enjoyable Action/Adventure - The Ice Road review by GI
Obviously influenced by The Wages Of Fear (1953) and Sorcerer (1977) this action adventure is another in the never ending line of Liam Neeson curmudgeonly old timer action flicks although this one puts aside the usual revenge theme for a reasonably entertaining adventure story that has its moments. Neeson plays Mike, a gutsy trucker who also cares for his mentally damaged ex veteran brother Gurty (Marcus Thomas). Needing the money Mike accepts the highly dangerous job of taking special (and very heavy) rescue equipment across the frozen sea on an ice road to a diamond mine where an accident has trapped miners underground. It's all a race against time before the miners suffocate. There's the tense journey across the ice which isn't without incident as you'd expect and also a slowly unravelling conspiracy to give Liam the chance to battle with some bad guys. It's pure hokum but enjoyable and Laurence Fishburne has a cameo just to add some extra spice.

Entertaining Arctic adventure - The Ice Road review by Alphaville
How to make an action movie with no dull moments. Following a mine cave-in in northern Canada, driver Liam Neeson and a trio of heavy trucks launch a rescue mission on a dangerous ice road across thawing lakes and high passes. It begins as a by-the-numbers adventure in which you can guess some of the scrapes they’ll get into, but this only adds to the fun and the action ramps up and keeps going all the way to the end. There’s a resourceful baddie and the Arctic landscape adds another compelling dimension. Sure, it won’t suit an art-house crowd looking for social realism but, if it’s big screen entertainment you want, this delivers in spades.

Average - The Ice Road review by TH
Another Liam Neeson action film. So is it any good. Well it was highly watchable if slightly unbelievable. I would say this is worth a watch but don't expect something you would watch again like Taken or The Commuter which were better. That being said the backdrop was a nice change.
