Why watch this film?
This is the true story of Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian soldier who was the sole survivor of a group of 12 fighters during World War II. From there begins a frozen odyssey that reminds us, in some moments, of Alejandro G. Iñárritu's 'The Revenant.' Director Harald Zwart (of the remake of 'Karate Kid') commands the suspense scenes with authenticity and manages to make the character's suffering palpable. Thomas Gullestad, who plays the heroic survivor, has a solid performance, even if the rest of the cast doesn't stand out. However, it's the spectacular images, the timeless message about Nazi brutality, and the unique details of this historical narrative that make it an exceptional movie.

The Karate Kid
Remake of the eponymous movie series, 'The Karate Kid' is one of the most interesting reworkings of classic films. Although this feature film by Harald Zwart ('The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones') has its problems, such as the focus on kung-fu and a forgettable performance by young Jaden Smith, it cannot be denied that there is a "spirit" of the original saga in the plot and in the good executions in the action scenes. Jackie Chan is inspiring as Mr. Han and the excitement arises at key moments for the development of the story. Of course, the original films are better. But you can have fun.
