The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I'm sure most of you watching this movie because there's Ron Weasley a.k.a Rupert Grint in it! Yup, me too! Well, as a fan of his..Into the White is a-must-see! It wont disappoint you. This talented actor shows his acting ability in a more mature role..somewhat wild and emotional guy in this quite beautiful epic! This movie will be better if the conflict goes deeper..but the German vs British pride that each soldier have, is pretty enjoyable to see...when you're a girl and u love seeing pretty soldiers without too many action/war scenes..here it is! Talking about Rupert, what I love about him is that he always challenges himself to take on unusual role..u know,bad/troubled guy..if u notice his previous roles (although he's pretty handsome to be mr nice guy).. I really hope Hollywood gives Rupert a great chance to shine,as Daniel Radcliffe does, coz he has so much potential to become a real good actor!

It's April 27, 1940. British and German forces are battling over Norway to claim its important iron ore resources. A German plane crash lands in the middle of nowhere. Three Germans survivors find a hunter's cabin. They are joined by two British aviators who survived being shoot down. Captain Davenport is annoyingly superior and the Germans take the unarmed British prisoners. Eventually the two groups have to work together to survive.It's a Norwegian movie with an European cast. Supposedly it's based on a true story, and I don't care. There is a grindingly slow pace and a surprisingly lack of tension. On its face, the story should have some compelling drama. However, that's not what plays out on the screen. There is a real need for more danger or some compelling personality conflicts. Davenport doesn't come off very well. He starts off as a pompous fool and I don't understand his motives. The concept sounds so much more interesting than the actual movie.

I found this on Netflix streaming movies, it is said to be based on, or at least inspired by, real events. In 1940 both Germany and Great Britain had an interest in Norway, for the raw materials for a variety of uses. And, Germany and GB were bitter enemies. When a crew from each nation shot each other down in the snowy mountains of Norway, their war plans quickly gave way to survival. The three Germans and the two British managed to find the same vacant wooden camp high in the mountains at almost the same time. The Germans got there first, had pistols, so claimed the British as prisoners as soon as they found the camp. However eventually the British got the upper hand, until they all realized they needed to cooperate to survive.Florian Lukas is the German officer in charge, Leutnant Horst Schopis. Lachlan Nieboer, which sounds like he should also be German, is actually English and he played the British officer in charge, Captain Charles P. Davenport. Now past his 'Potter' roles, Rupert Grint is effective as the other British airman, Gunner Robert Smith.The story is mainly a serious one, of how enemies can learn to respect each other, and learn to work together for survival. But there are many funny scenes in it also. Almost all of the movie takes place in the camp, or just outside it, and with the 5 characters. Good movie, not big or flashy, but a good story.SPOILERS: In the end the Norweigens sent out a rescue party, they shot one of the Germans, and the other two were considered prisoners and were taken away. The British, being allies, returned to their assignments.

Dumb dialogs, stupid reactions. Guionist sitting at home never faced a gun. Writers cannot even think about what would it feel like seen a gun pointed at your nose. The setting had potential but it has been turned in a disaster. Characters react like nerds fighting over dinner... characters are stereotypes of stereotypes of themselves. Cold Germans smart English you know the drill Stupidest script I have seen in a while. Even if you are Norwegian and want to support your limited national output you cannot possibly support this type of movie. If you like me cannot stand irrational behavior just for the sake of filling 2 hours of movie this movie is not for you. Trust me... see something else!
