“Black Crab” (**1/2 out of four) In a post-apocalyptic world, a tough-as-nails soldier (Noomi Rapace) is forced to save her daughter by leading 5 other soldiers on a covert mission transporting a mysterious package across a frozen dessert but naturally- things do not go as planned and they face double-crosses and death at every turn. A film that holds you with its good filmmaking and acting but never fully grabs you and is never as fiery or riveting as it should be. Icy cinematography from Jonas Alarik and Rapace’s usual rock-solid performance definitely command your attention but film still feels empty at the center.
