Black Crab

Pretty decent movie, the plot is rather original and intriguing. The setup and scenes was nice and realistic, the acting wasn't overacted and convincing. The actions and intensity were just fine the keeps the story interesting, which was not any boring as the reviewers wrongly suggests, it's entertaining enough for the length of two hours. Don't understand the low raters, maybe coz it's not in english? Or a superhero movie with non stop guns blazing actions by disney, or other big studios that pays for fake reviews? A lot of recent netflix movies were underrated, and honestly this deserves a 6+, which is better than a lot of overrated movies out there.

A bit of a different twist on the post apocalyptic war movie, grim and dark and full of crackling ice and brooding synth drones, with a distinctly Scandinavian flavour. Nice to see a film like this done reasonably well in a language other than English.

Unfortunately it gets mostly undone by the usual cheesy character motivations, as the only thing our selfish "hero" cares about is a family member, not so much about the fate of every other human on the planet. Which in itself would be annoying enough as it is, but it's even worse when it causes the whole first 90% of the movie to become pointless when we reach the final 10%.

This movie's cinematography and vfx were top notch. The environments they were in, the action scenes, etc... This could of been great, but the writers totally screwed this one up. So many plot holes, so many unanswered questions, and characters that were hard to connect with because you have no idea who they really are.

Black Crab does not really ever let you get to know who is fighting for what. The moral dilemma really shown early in the game, but there is depth to it.

The one thing you learn watching Scandinavian movies is that you are always trying to figure the endgame. They are an acquired taste at first, but when they include Noomi, you have to watch. Somebody commented that she might make an Action Hero? Where have they been.

Watch the movie to see her range as an actor and the storyline is pretty good to.

That's the other thing about non Hollywood movies, they are not made like Hollywood Movies, enjoy the difference.

Noomi is a very convincing actress with the potential to even be an action star! :-) Great production including the visuals and the acting. And despite some aspects of the plot that did not quite make sense to me, the movie was engaging and thrilling :-)
