I really was excited to hear about this movie, both as it's the first ever Swedish catastrophe movie, but also that it takes place in the unique town of beautiful Kiruna.
The film is based on an actual possible event. The town of Kiruna is in the process of being moved three kilometers away from where it's situated today due to that the substantial mining underneath is leading to the town's sinking. And moving a town with 23.000 inhabitants is a huge task.
I also had great hopes as I heard talented Tuva Novotny was the lead actress, as an actor always doing well.
The plot is that Novotny's character is in charge of safety in the mines, when the ground it starting to falter around them.
But disappointment was huge both to see silly instructing, bad acting (if not from Novotny) and cliché after cliché, and rather stupid action.
I'm afraid to say that the story is not at all exciting, and even worse, it's boring.
I take it that the Swedes are inspired by the many great catastrope movies coming out of Norway since 2011 (The Wave, The Quake, The Tunnel, The Burning Sea, Troll, People in the sun, Pioneer, etc) but this is not reaching up to any of them.
