A prehistoric drama with the heart of a western, Iceman uses classic archetypes -- and deft direction -- to tell a stark and simple yet powerfully effective story.

3/4
One can imagine Richard Harris or Charlton Heston in the role, but without any star power, Vogel does quite nicely. Go to Full Review

"Iceman" is almost like something unearthed itself: a recognizable B western sharpened as much by its glints of psychology as by its kinetic savagery. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 03/14/2019
We can... easily follow the unsubtitled narrative. Less clear is why the German filmmaker Felix Randau would have the imaginative idea of reconstructing the possible final days of Europe's best-preserved mummy, only to give him such a basic plot. Go to Full Review

3/4
An immersive and entertaining act of cinematic speculation, albeit limited by its simplistic plotting. Go to Full Review

A spectacular and very believable... adventure and survival film. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

The underlying simplicity of ICEMAN is both a blessing and a hindrance. Felix Randau, however, does some stunning work. We may not understand the language, but we can feel every blow and chill and be captivated by the excellent visuals, words be damned. Go to Full Review

Zenakss N. @Natas Nov 17 Excellent Scenery,Nice movie score all in all a very good movie 8/10 👍🏼 See more dixie w Mar 28 Caveman revenge flick. Yawn. Frozen alright. Stunning, absolutely stunning scenery and cinematography. Acting, solid enough. Cavespeak not necessary to understand the film - that was fun. But a dull as goat turds story line that is as predictable (but for one ooops did the earth just open to eat me scene) as it is cliche heavy. A revenge flick s'all complete with your standard opening copulation scene and ruthless kill scenes. Caveman gets revenge then surprise not surprise second ending and dies in the snow anyway. One extra half-star for pointing out the obvious, humans suck and revenge begets revenge begets, ok, you got and we have been at it for like ever. P.S. Better closing music would have been Frank Sinatra singing That's Life or Pharrel Williams' Happy. See more Kenneth P 03/26/2024 For a movie that had no understandable language it held my attention for its entirety. Beautifully filmed and wonderfully acted it had me pondering how man could have survived such an unforgiving environment. A bleak, lonely and cruel world that made me think long and hard about life and survival some 5000 years ago. See more 02/18/2024 Great looking film. See more John-Paul S 03/07/2023 For a film with barely any dialogue, this was fantastic. A Stone Cold, Stone Age thriller - highly recommended! See more 07/30/2022 Unique. Can easily be accepted as how life was. See more Read all reviews
