"This is not on the map. It's not on the map".(Overgard looks above then back to his map as he meets yet another life threatening challenge on his trek to escape death).

Mads Mikkelsen does what Robert Redford did in All Is Lost (2013) only Mads is stranded on the Arctic ice. Mikkelsen is a star in the mould of Jackman, there seems no acting challenge he can't master. We meet Overgard (Mikkelsen) on the ice, scratching the finishing touches into the ice of a call for help which will hopefully be spotted from above. Ov is alone, his plight is obvious. The remnants of his plane have been home for him for weeks. Does he stay, using the ingenious resources he's created in the hope he'll be rescued? Or does he trek out into the unknown? Then something happens, saving another life forces his hand. A couple of polar bear scenes keep Mads, and indeed us, on edge. Done well, this "man against the elements" genre is a winner. Arctic nearly matches All Is Lost for tension, but not quite. Mikkelsen fans are going to revel in his latest challenge.   8GUMS.
