The Ice Road (2021, D: Hensleigh) S: Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne - Netflix
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...a0bd77383f.jpg
After the collapse of a diamond mine in northern Canada, ice road truckers (Liam Neeson and Laurence Fishburne) race against the clock, before the ice thaws and the miners are trapped. Will they make it in time and intact? |

Wish this came out earlier and will not be that much fun with the weather getting warmer.

So this is a different movie than the one where he drove a snowplow? I look forward to his next movie where he drives an Arctic Cat through the snow to save, I don’t know, his wife or something...

Cold Pursuit is pretty good. Dark as fuck black comedy, too.

I noticed this movie is directed by Jonathan Hensleigh, who wrote Armageddon, Die Hard with a Vengeance and directed The Punisher. I looked at his IMDB and he hasn't done much at all in the last decade. He must be living off his wife's salary (Gale Anne Hurd, the EP of the Walking Dead shows) It looks alright and pretty typical for what Neeson makes these days. |

The soundtrack to this is also getting a big push. Rob Zombie, Nikki Sixx, John 5 and Tommy Clufetos have a supergroup going and a song on it.

I like movies like this. It's refreshing to watch an action-adventure sometimes that doesn't base itself around dudes shooting and fist fighting.

I just finished it. I did not care for this movie at all. Boring, by the numbers and very forgettable. Fishburne has a very small part in this.
Even the truck action sequences are boring. D+ skip it. Neeson needs to retire from action movies. I can see why this was sold as a streaming movie. |
Re: The Ice Road (2021, D: Hensleigh) S: Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne - Netflix
Meh. Not bad for a Netflix movie. But if I paid to watch it in a theater, I'd be really disappointed. The action wasn't exciting. Some of the CGI looked like cheap SyFy Channel effects. And there was lots of ridiculous stuff, like the indestructible villain. I wish it was better. But it was just blah.

Another lame Neeson movie.

Jonathan Hensleigh, who wrote and directed this is not a good filmmaker. That's why he hasn't been hired to do any major studio work in many years. |

Anymore it's either worth the time or it's not.

Re: The Ice Road (2021, D: Hensleigh) S: Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne - Netflix
A friend of mine saw this and said it sucked. Out of Neeson's last three pics, Honest Thief, The Marksman, and Ice Road, Honest Thief is the better film.
Also, as far as Jonathan Hensleigh being a bad filmmaker, etc., I think he's still married to Gale Ann Hurd, so he doesn't really need to do anything. He's living large. |

I don't believe in this kind of review/justification. A bad movie is a bad movie and a good movie is a good movie regardless of how it was delivered.. This seems to imply because you valued it a little more because you didn't actually have to pay to see it, which doesn't really make sense. If Honest Thief was a Prime Video exclusive, would that make more people like it more because they didn't have to pay money to see it? Of course not.
For me personally, I put a lot more stock and consideration into what movies I’m going to see at the theater than those I’ll stop to watch while channel surfing. I’ll take my chances on A LOT more shitty movies at home than I will at the theater. Sometimes while taking those chances I’ll stumble upon something that surprises me. I felt that way about Neeson’s The Honest Thief. Streamed it rather than seeing it in the theater and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t terrible. That doesn’t mean it was good enough to warrant a trip to the theater. All personal opinion, of course. Now, all that being said, you and I probably don’t differ much on this. A shitty movie is a shitty movie but our level enjoyment of that movie depends on the amount of time, effort, and money spent to see it. |
Re: The Ice Road (2021, D: Hensleigh) S: Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne - Netflix
It wasn't terrible, but wasn't outright good either. Decent enough time killer though and I don't feel like it was wasted time. Much preferred spending time watching this versus the time wasted on Pixar's Luca.

I watched The Ice Road and The Marksman on the weekend and while we aren't in Bruce Willis territory, Neeson's movies have declined from enjoyable to watchable. I'm really hoping he makes true on his promise and stops making those movies.

Re: The Ice Road (2021, D: Hensleigh) S: Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne - Netflix
Saw it. It was ok. Wife fell asleep on it. I finished it but if i'm honest, I kinda lost interest when they got rid of one enthusiastic interesting character early on so Liam could be the Wooden Hero. :(
Off topic, I'd love to see Liam and Harrison Ford do a film together. :lol: Just 2 guys grumbling their barely audible lines...Oh wait, I forgot about K19 Widowmaker. :lol: Love that film. |
Re: The Ice Road (2021, D: Hensleigh) S: Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne - Netflix
I watched it the other night and was bored.
I did crack up at Spoiler:

The Marksmen was better.
The girl looked like a dead ringer for Aubrey Plaza. I wish Neeson would do more dramas since he has done great work in that genre too which people forget. |
