Liam Neeson and the Movies. Now he's trying quieter films, and they're still no better. Because that's another boring movie in his career.
Maybe he should let it be.

The other question is, have we ever seen such a movie set on the ice roads near the Arctic Circle? Neeson does deliver a particular set of skills, in this case dangerous big-rig driving, and has to fight for his life along the way, together with his Iraq-vet brother and a drop-dead gorgeous Cherokee girl. Only the coda is predictable, but the action isn't, and it goes beyond mere hand-to-hand combat.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you love Liam Neeson movies, you'll love this too! Don't fall prey to the bad reviews! It's an entertaining nail biter with lots of action and adventure, twists and turns you don't see coming and a nice change to see cold and ice after this super hot 100 degree weather! Definitely recommend!

This time, he’s one of several drivers who are tasked with transporting equipment to save trapped miners in Upper Canada. The route is literally ice and the perils are numerous. Even though the rivers are relatively straight, the road continually curves with calamities and challenges that only a superhuman hero can solve. Most of them involve manipulating the trucks in various ways (a clear promo for the Kenworth brand). The project has a cheesy made-for-TV feel with underdeveloped characters, sad attempts at emotional connection and increasingly implausible logic. Even though some of the feats are unfeasible, the execution is rarely impressive, plus the insistent score continually attempts to ramp up the tension. Overall, this is a middling action adventure.… Expand

Was it good? No.

But was it at least entertaining? Also no. The VFX are rough even by straight to streaming standards…

The movie itself, very predictable and stupid, not the best kind of stupid for these types of movies. The visual effects looked so awful and unconvincing I questioned if I was watching a Sci Fi channel movie. The directing wasn’t anything notable and the writing was so horrendous, ridiculous situations and none of it was believable. I had a hard time finishing this one.

I can't believe that both Liam Neeson and Laurence Fishburne agreed to be in this.

'The Ice Road' is cold and boring.… Expand

I liked it. Maybe the plot itself was kinda stretch as did not make sence fully, but I did find it a good and exciting action movie. Of course Neeson lately is in many, but I still found it enjoyable

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It felt like the film took the easy way out for what little character development it had. Liam has largely been the same nice guy in a few films so they just kind of leaned on that for this film. Early in the film, within about 90 seconds, we meet the brother, find out he's mentally challenged, he gets picked on, Liam's character saves him...again. There's a Mice & Men moment when we're shown the brother's pet mouse, er..., I mean rat, and he luckily doesn't squeeze him to death. It all happened so fast it felt odd and I suspect it's only because of Liam's past that you could set up the main characters so quickly. Next, there's Mr. Goldenrod. A name choice that baffled me because I used to work for a large studio and know about script paper colors. It was just weird to me.
Then there's a throwback to a scene right out of Forrest Gump when he fixes the 'ain't got no gas' lawnmower and later reassembles his weapon faster than anyone else. In Ice Road, it is a different kind of motor the brother fixes. That's enough. It wasn't a very good film and as other armchair critics have said, it seems strange both Liam N. and Samuel L. Jackson said yes to this. (Lawrence Fishburn. Just seeing if you're paying attention this far down).… Expand

Or at least that's what I want to believe since it's quite clear that producers continues to offer him films that hardly differ from each other, and he continues to star in them.

He's a solid element because he knows how to sell them, but as a viewer I no longer get anything remotely noteworthy from these kinds of productions.

If you want a basic but bland entertainment alternative for this weekend, this may be one of your options.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You don't normally expect Liam Neeson making bad films. The script is poor, acting from supporting casts pretty wooden. The ending punch so half hearted it was not even worth filming. I was hoping it will spring into life and kept watching.... BUT sadly not to be. I had expectations but its I have spent I can't have back.… Expand

The Ice Road is good if you don’t expect a typical Liam Neeson performance. It won’t be anyone’s favorite action film, but I wouldn’t throw it in the trash pile.
