Gulltransporten

This movie, about the true story of the effort to evacuate the entire Norwegian gold reserve out of Norway during the German invasion of Norway in World War II to keep the gold out of Germany's hands, is a fantastic docudrama movie!

It is far from flawless. Some of the supporting actors give pretty mediocre performances, the dialogue is a bit on the simple side, and it is clear the movie draws inspiration from others-at times it feels a little like a wannabe. That said, there is still a lot to love! I am a sucker for cinematic movies that lean into cinematography, sound design, score, and effects-and Gold Run really nails those elements, especially for a Norwegian production. Plus, it is based on a true story, which stirs up a bit of national pride and reminds us how lucky we are today-85 years later.

This movie is not perfect, but its visuals, sound, and true story stand out. Despite flaws, it captures a proud moment in Norwegian history and stirs national spirit.

I am shocked by the negative reviews here and I'm wondering whether we watched the same film! I was on the edge of my seat throughout, the characters were excellent and I could feel their pain, frustration and joy. It opened my eyes to a piece of history that I knew very little about and it left me feeling so grateful for the comfort we live in today.

The characters were relatable and human. I felt a connection to each one, in particular Haslund. The cast did an excellent job in bringing them to life and within minutes I was truly rooting for each character. They are both likeable and yet fallible, and I think it is the characters that really make the film great.

I'll admit that the plot is simple, but I don't think that this is a bad thing. It was still filled with drama and emotion and it was thrilling and engaging throughout. The simpler plot also allowed for the characters to be explored more, and this they did well so I never felt bored.

This may not technically be the best film ever made, but this is still one of my favourites. I felt drawn into this film and I felt the highs and the lows of the characters and their journey. Perhaps it could have been more complex, perhaps it could have been deeper, but I don't think it needed to be. It was engaging, emotional and exciting, and I don't think a film can be anything more than that.

I love a good war movie and this is one of them! Based on a true story...

The story: Norwegians have to safeguard their countries biggest gold supply from when the Nazis invade their country at the very start of World War II. Will they be able to flee with the gold transport to Sweden before the Nazis take hold of it? THAT's the contineous CLIFFHANGER...

The good; I would like to award it 7,5 stars. It's contineous suspense and solid acting performances and a tightknit direction with beautiful photography are to be thanked for that.

Any bad? The leading actor isnt the most charismatic Norwegian actor. The story furthermore does not tread new roads in the war movie genre. It's kind of a formula picture, but a really solid one.

Gulltrasnpoten presents a thrilling narrative centered around the historical transport of Norway's gold reserve amidst the chaos of World War II. Jon Oigarden delivers a compelling performance as Fredrik Haslund, leading the charge to safeguard the nation's wealth from the encroaching German forces. Supported by a strong ensemble cast including Ida Elise Broch and Sven Nordin, the film navigates the perilous journey with tension and suspense.

Visually, the movie captures the intensity of the era with impressive cinematography and meticulous attention to detail. The Norwegian landscape serves as a stark backdrop to the unfolding drama, enhancing the authenticity of the wartime setting. Directorial choices effectively convey the urgency of the mission, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats throughout.

Despite its historical basis, "Gulltrasnpoten " occasionally takes liberties with the events, amplifying the drama to cinematic proportions. While this may detract from the overall accuracy, it adds to the entertainment value, offering a thrilling ride for viewers. The inclusion of comedic elements provides a welcome contrast to the tension, adding depth to the characters and their interactions.

Overall, the movie succeeds as a gripping war thriller, offering audiences a compelling glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of history. While some performances may falter and dramatic embellishments abound, the film delivers an engaging cinematic experience that resonates long after the credits roll.

This is how all thrillers should be. Haven't see such an awesome action packed thriller in a long time. Was kept at the edge of my seat the whole time. Not a second of dull moment. The acting, the back ground score, all aspects of the movie I found fabulous. Even though watched it in a non English language , still was able to enjoy it very much using the subtitles. In this action packed thriller there are also some elements of comedy, A treat for the whole family. After watching this, war movies have become my new favourite. Kudos to all those involved in the film, the story, the direction, the acting, the music , the war scenes, all excellent. War time imagery was created to perfection, looked so real. Looking forward to more such movies from the makers of this film. Truly a movie that deserves tons of accolades. Excellent, Bravo, and thank you.
