BLACK CRAB is a Swedish action thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by war. During a long, harsh winter, six soldiers embark on a covert mission across a frozen archipelago, risking their lives to transport a mysterious package that could end the war. As they enter hostile enemy territory, they have no idea what dangers lie ahead or who--if anyone--they can trust. But for speed skater turned soldier Caroline Edh, the mission is about something else entirely. Starring Noomi Rapace in a film directed by Adam Berg, BLACK CRAB follows six soldiers on a desperate mission to bring an end to the war which has destroyed their lives.

Critics Consensus

Black Crab can be exciting in the moment, but its bleak and derivative story add up to a fairly forgettable viewing experience.

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

For those who could use a break from real explosions on the news, the fake ones in “Black Crab” are well-crafted, exciting and mostly harmless.

Sophie Butcher

Empire Magazine

Though its core concept is executed well, Black Crab’s dour tone, shallow writing and derivative plot-beats make for a movie experience that leaves you as cold as the ice its characters are forced to skate on.

Rated: 2/5

Black Crab is more than sufficiently gripping to make you want to see it through.

Rated: 3/4

There may never be an answer to all the unanswered questions in Black Crab, but one thing is for certain, the movie lacks certain elements of crucial storytelling.

Keith & the Movies

While the world-building leaves too much to the imagination and some of the characters lack much needed depth, “Black Grab” still manages to get its hooks in you.

Rated: 3.5/5

Next Best Picture

It is not exemplary of this genre that exploits dystopian habitats, but it mobilizes just enough facets to warrant a satisfactory result.

Rated: 6/10

If it weren't for the confusing context of civil war, this would just be a damn fine action movie, with a very emotional mother-daughter aspect.

Naomi Rapace is brilliant in everything she does but this was a huge challenge and she did it again! Bravo!

Swedish. Different. I quite liked it. If Bergman made a war movie, this might be it.

Visuals are good, but acting is a bit off. The writing is bad, protagonists make illogical choices considered their personalities, and it's a very predictable story. The viewer doesn't want to root for the main character, that's a no no for me.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

1984 style bleak. Makes you shudder to the core. The eery ice skating and Rapace' last statement alone makes this movie worth it. I won't forget this one easily.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A bleak view of the realities of war. Maybe it hits me harder because of my own experiences with a similar war. But nonetheless it is a movie that brings a certain grim nostalgia and somber tone to what modern war entails.
