I really enjoyed this. Don't understand all the criticism. Everything looked plausible to me for a casual viewing. Don't need to go into details to find faults. It's like saying because there is no sound and explosions in space, that movie is bad. Consider this a fantasy movie with ice and trucks. I was transported to a new place and that was enough for me.

My only real big problem with this movie was

killing his brother. Like it's the right thing to do. He is only good when he is dead. He has no future. Totally unnecessary.

I think they've used the same Liam Neeson stock photo on the poster for every movie he's done in the last 10 years.

My spouse and I thought this movie was good and silly fun. Quite a few things seemed unbelievable, or close to it, but as a TV movie it was a good time and a nice distraction.
