Arctic proves that a good survival thriller doesn't need much in the way of dialogue to get by -- especially when Mads Mikkelsen is the one doing the surviving.

First-time feature director Joe Penna and his cowriter and editor Ryan Morrison skillfully exploit genre conventions, but suspense arises mostly from what fresh hells they devise for the hero to conquer, for conquer he must. March 25, 2020 | Full Review…

Brazilian director Joe Penna, a former viral YouTube star, seems to relish the chance to stretch out and slow down, training the focus of his almost John Carpenter-esque feature debut (shot in gorgeous Icelandic locations) on small acts of process. May 14, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Mikkelsen gives a strong performance, of course. He has to carry the movie on his shoulders, but that's probably why he did it. February 13, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This film makes for a compelling hour and a half; you know where it's going, but you never quite believe it'll actually get there. February 11, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Though the journey is well executed and the tension sustained, the obstacles are so familiar to the genre - inclement weather, tricky rock formations, grumpy bears - they can feel ordinary. February 8, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The actor offers an incredibly committed and determined performance, but by the film's end, you wish he'd be able to get back to doing what he does best: eating. February 8, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

For the most part, this is a typical story of survival in harsh conditions, but there are some plot twists, and it is a well-made film. Mikkelsen shines as the rugged, capable pilot of a downed plane somewhere in the Arctic Circle. January 6, 2020 | Rating: B | Full Review…

What keeps you watching is Mikkelsen. The actor is at his best in the open air, and here he gives the tundra a run for its money in the competition to see who can seem the most rugged and elemental. December 19, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
