Review: Ice Road

This movie is a pleasant sidestep from Liam Neeson's past
few projects that to me at least, seem to run together with similar plots and
themes. After looking up what an ice road was and finding out that they exist I
must admit I was intrigued. Laurence Fishburne being on the bill helped too.
I'll save you the Google, an ice road are winter roads made over frozen rivers
or lakes in cold regions. Written and
directed by Jonathan Hensleigh the film is about
Neeson's character Mike McCann and his brother Gurty, who suffers from a brain
injury, being contracted to bring equipment to help dig out miners who are
trapped after a collapse. The job is dangerous but promises a big bag at the
end for everyone involved including a young woman whose brother is among those
trapped. It wouldn't be a Neeson film if there wasn't corruption, conspiracy,
and murder but credit to Hensleigh for creating a
fresh plot with action involving 18 wheelers. This film has a good pace and
delivers on action without shortchanging the audience on a viable plot. Ice
Road is streaming on Netflix now.
