- At times marred by subpar CGI, The Ice Road is a by-the-numbers thriller that exists nicely as empty calories, briefly formidable but ultimately forgettable. Assembled algorithmically, and dispensed derivatively, there's nothing truly shiny about The Ice Road.

The Ice Road premieres Friday, June 25 on Netflix.
Liam Neeson's latest, a modestly exciting disaster flick about a treacherous trek through Canadian tundra, is a Netflix-only deal that fires on partial cylinders. At times marred by subpar CGI, The Ice Road is a by-the-numbers thriller that exists nicely as empty calories, briefly formidable but ultimately forgettable.
Assembled algorithmically, and dispensed derivatively, there's nothing truly shiny about The Ice Road. In another life, this film would have taken a straight-to-Redbox route, providing a cool-headed compromise for those unable to decide on what to watch on a given Friday night. The grotty effects are a curious layer here; there are parts of The Ice Road that work well because of -- you guessed it -- the ice road. Whenever the film can convince you that it's actually employing practical efforts to showcase the dangers, it's instantly better. When you believe the characters are in the midst of the elements, and trickily traversing the harsh climate and rickety off-season ice, there's a sheen of suspense. But then horrid-looking explosions and unconvincing ice cracks and avalanches zip you out of the tension pretty quickly and undermine a lot of the action.
The Ice Road, at best, is a callback to past thrillers that have already used many of the beats and twists here and, if nothing else, it nestles in nicely with the rest of Liam Neeson's late-stage action flicks. When the obstacles pile up, the ticking clock element of the story certainly adds tension but overall things play out rather predictably a...
