Gulltransporten

I am shocked by the negative reviews here and I'm wondering whether we watched the same film! I was on the edge of my seat throughout, the characters were excellent and I could feel their pain, frustration and joy. It opened my eyes to a piece of history that I knew very little about and it left me feeling so grateful for the comfort we live in today.

The characters were relatable and human. I felt a connection to each one, in particular Haslund. The cast did an excellent job in bringing them to life and within minutes I was truly rooting for each character. They are both likeable and yet fallible, and I think it is the characters that really make the film great.

I'll admit that the plot is simple, but I don't think that this is a bad thing. It was still filled with drama and emotion and it was thrilling and engaging throughout. The simpler plot also allowed for the characters to be explored more, and this they did well so I never felt bored.

This may not technically be the best film ever made, but this is still one of my favourites. I felt drawn into this film and I felt the highs and the lows of the characters and their journey. Perhaps it could have been more complex, perhaps it could have been deeper, but I don't think it needed to be. It was engaging, emotional and exciting, and I don't think a film can be anything more than that.
