Dennis Harvey Variety The Arctic Convoy is well-enough crafted on all levels to hold interest and maintain reasonable credibility, if not to make any distinctive impression. Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Alan Zilberman Spectrum Culture The Arctic Convoy is a throwback to World War II films popular when the conflict was still in progress that were designed to get audiences more invested in the war effort with their modestly scaled genre exercises. This is both a strength and a weakness. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb The Arctic Convoy works as a solid history lesson despite a few lulls and generic supporting characters. It achieves the goal of honoring civilian sailors who served valiantly at sea during World War II. Rated: 3/5 Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies The Arctic Convoy shines a light on the perilous efforts of merchant sailors during the war, while also telling a compelling human story... Rated: 3/4 Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “The Arctic Convoy” succeeds in sharing another little-known true story from the many still yet to be told from World War II. Strong performances and a character-driven focus adds some unexpected layers to this riveting, edge-of-your-seat nautical drama. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) War tribute to the civil navy, the only Norwegian resistance to the Nazis. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Waylon H I simply don't understand the rating for this movie. I was looking forward to an intelligent portrayal of a terrible situation. Instead, I got an utterly farcical attempt to continue to heighten tension. So much was just thrown in without thought. Why on earth could they not have stopped or sent the lifeboat back to save the crew who fell overboard? Do you have any idea how absurd it would be to fire an antiaircraft weapon from the hold with the actual hope to hit something? This is a ship with metal working capabilities, as is evidences by one sailor arc welding. so why couldn't they use an acetylene or propane torch to gently heat the frozen gun that would have. actually had a chance of shooting down the plane? I've welded most of my life and to just say, well it's frozen, so we need to use the gun from deep, deep in the hold is ridiculous. You would have a better chance to knock the plane down by throwing pennies into the air. The effects were nicely done. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Pongo K The actors seem not to care very much. No ups or downs really. And they talk very fast, and low, quite often. They have the same face expressions through the whole movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review ****** * Such a great movie with a good story, acting and realism Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Audience Member A slack bunch. Not least the engineer. Never repairs anything. Has always plenty of time. Just stands around and mumbles. Like the rest of the movie. Both their voices and their activities are monotonous and dull. The movie is almost sleep-inducing in its form Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
