Despite its many perils, both natural and human, The Ice Road is surprisingly dull.

Decider
Gird your expectations accordingly - as you would for any Neeson action film of the past decade - and you'll enjoy The Ice Road.

Vulture
As The Ice Road goes on, (its) matter-of-fact approach increasingly feels at odds with what's happening onscreen. Such a smart movie probably shouldn't have been so stupid.
