An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was starring Noomi Rapace and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though Rapace did have her international breakthrough at the beginning of the 2010’s, I’m afraid it didn’t last for long and, nowadays, she is stuck playing in such underwhelming direct-to-streaming features. This movie was a perfect example. Sure, I have to admit that it wasn’t the worst of the bunch but, at the end of the day, it was still totally forgettable. I mean, I do have a weak spot for post-apocalyptic movies and it was an interesting choice that they didn’t give any details about this conflict, how it started, what were the ideologies involved,… Still, beside this cloud of mystery, they didn’t really do anything interesting with the genre though. Eventually, the only thing which really worked was, as usual, Noomi Rapace. Indeed, no matter the material, she is always so intense and this movie was no exception. In this case, even though her character was barely developed, she was always convincing and compelling to behold. I have also noticed that, since I saw her in the Millenium franchise all these years ago, it was the first time that she was playing again in a Swedish movie so it was actually pretty cool to hear her speak Swedish again after all these years. Unfortunately, I didn’t care at all for the other actors involved but it was mostly due to the fact that all their respective characters were uninteresting and seriously half-baked. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch but really only thanks to Noomi Rapace and, if you are not a fan of her work, you should probably skip this movie.
