Not sure who is my favorite from the 2. But both seem to love the 1-man-show kind of films which have absurd and nonsensical stories.
The Ice Road is...just another Liam Neeson movie. Obviously Nick Cage would have liked to be in this one, but Liam got there first.
Realism went for vacation here. Trucks and truckers after having seen this film are probably furious with these completely wrong and unbelievable scenes.
But, that's the Hollywood magic.
So folks this ain't a documentary but an action film set in cold Canada involving trucks, mines, bad people and ice roads.
In fact, it's an enjoyable action flick.
It needs to be seen with the right amount of patience, to go through all the silly dialogue moments and the unreal truck scenes.
Maybe the cinema experience helps too.
So, switch off and you might actually enjoy it.
5,9/10.

I must admit that whenever Liam Neeson stars in a movie, then it is a movie that I feel that I must watch, because he definitely has a track record of some rather impressive movies these last many years.
However, when I read the synopsis for "The Ice Road", I must admit that I wasn't exactly overly impressed. But still I sat down to watch the movie, as it had Liam Neeson in it, after all.
And I must say that writer and director Jonathan Hensleigh actually managed to put together a good old fashioned thriller. And while the concept may have seemed a bit off, then it actually worked out well enough with having the movie take place in the frigid colds of northern Canada.
The storyline told in "The Ice Road" is one that quickly lets its frostbite set in and director Jonathan Hensleigh doesn't let you go before the movie comes to an end. I have to admit that I was genuinely more than entertained by the story told in this movie.
Needless to say that Liam Neeson does it quite well in this movie as well, of course he did. And he was joined by the likes of Marcus Thomas, Laurence Fishburne, Amber Midthunder and Benjamin Walker for a rather interesting and fast-paced thriller.
"The Ice Road" was definitely a surprisingly good movie, and it was one that provided me with proper entertainment.
I am rating "The Ice Road" a six out of ten stars.

This movie didn't need to be made. I'm surprised the eggheads at Netflix didn't just cast Adam Sandler. I'm neither a trucker or a miner, but I'm Insulted on the behalf of both professions.
The title and plot synopsis of this film naturally reminds me - and surely many others - instantly of that TV-series "Ice Road Truckers" that I watched on Discovery Channel around the years 2007-2010. To be honest, the TV documentary/series was really cool and fascinating for a few episodes, but it got monotonous quite fast and, after two seasons, only the sensationalist-narrator still seemed to believe that something terrible might happen. Weird, in fact, that nobody thought sooner about turning this concept into an action-packed and spectacularly cinematographed thriller? Because, when it's fiction, you can sacrifice heroic truckers and allow for 18-wheel trucks to sink to the bottom as much as you want!
Who else than the mighty Liam Neeson would you expect in the role of hard-boiled, grumpy, persistent, and heroic ice road trucker? Well, actually, the role might as well have been played by either Bruce Willis, Nicolas Cage, or John Travolta. Since several years, they have all four chosen for a career full of standard but nevertheless entertaining and action-packed thrillers with a lot of violence. Neeson's role? A trucker who - in exchange for a massive sum of money, of course - accepts the immensely dangerous assignment of transporting supplies and an industrial drill towards Northern Manitoba, via frozen rivers and lakes in April (while they're normally only used until March) and reach a collapsed mine before 26 slowly suffocating miners completely run out of oxygen. The deadline is tight, the trip is already perilous, but the plot is further thickened with corporate shenanigans, sabotages left and right, and the fact Neeson must look after his mentally traumatized brother.
"The Ice Road" obviously isn't a great or even highly memorable movie, but it's exactly how I like my Liam Neeson action-movies: fast-paced, occasionally tense, implausible but spectacular, and full of loathsome bad guys in a corporate suit. The best way to describe the film is like a less brilliant version of the great French classic "Le Salaire de la Peur" (or its good William Friedkin remake "Sorcerer"), but then - duh - in a northern hemisphere setting. Sure, you can debate the imposed "woke" influences were needed, or if the vicious corporate tycoons covering up incidents hasn't become too much of a dreadful cliché by now, but you could also simply enjoy the straightforward action footage and the beautiful Canadian landscapes.

Yes it's not "My Dinner with Andre" or "Mindwalk", but is a Liam Neeson, Saturday afternoon beer drinking action movie. It's pure escapism from S-show that is America 2021.
