"Orions belte" is a well-made action/adventure movie coming to us from Norway. The well-choreographed stunts and action scenes are beautifully integrated into the tale being told. The movie tells a suspenseful story about a handful of not entirely scrupulous sea dogs with an eye to the main chance. When their keen sense of enterprise causes them to stumble on a top secret Soviet listening post, all hell breaks loose.
"Orions belte" is quite a compelling movie that immerses the viewers in an environment of rare natural beauty, where regal wonders meet spine-crushing dangers. At the same time the movie (and then especially the second half) highlights the plight of those random civilians who discover great secrets. It turns out that, within the murky world of international Realpolitik, ideological opponents have found a common ground in a desire not to upset the applecart. And since the preservation of the applecart depends on the preservation of shared fictions and fabrications, accidental witnesses able to puncture the lies are seen as nuisances. Accidental witnesses liable to turn into whistleblowers are even less popular.
I hope to find the source novel to the movie, it should be quite interesting.
