Cold Equation | |
The Ice Road / int_1ce428b5 | comment |
Cold Equation: Defied. One of the miners becomes a Rabble Rouser and tries to get the wounded killed and thus the rest of the survivors (and he) will have more air, but the leader of the crew pulls out a Zippo and threatens to blow them all up with the methane that is trapped with them if they try. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent | |
The Ice Road / int_43b154c9 | comment |
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Liam Neeson keeps talking with his Irish brogue with a brother that served in the Marines (and got aphasia from IED-caused injuries) and roars out in one scene "kiss my Irish ass!", implying he is an immigrant. | |

Big Brother Instinct | |
The Ice Road / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Mike does not likes it at all when people hurt his brother Gurty. His first scene has him knock the hell out of a Jerkass trucker who is bullying Gurty because he has aphasia (a latter scene has Goldenrod pointing out that this kind of situation has happened in, and gotten Mike fired from, several other trucking companies already). His second scene has him trying to admit Gurty to a VA hospital because they are out of work and, in his own words, "I'm not getting any younger"note Liam Neeson was 68 when the film was made, but gets him out of the hospital and threatens to beat the crap out of the doctor when his idea to "help" Gurty is to dose the everliving crap out of him with antidepressants and opioids. | |

Foreshadowing | |
The Ice Road / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The moment Goldenrod mentions that all three rigs carry the exact same cargo for the sake of "tactical redundancy" (read: it's a borderline Suicide Mission and they hope at least one makes it to the destination), you just know that two of them will be wrecked (and they do: Goldenrod’s rig and trailer are lost alongside Goldenrod, Mike's rig loses its cargo and Tantoo's rig is destroyed with the cargo surviving). | |

Disappointed by the Motive | |
The Ice Road / int_aa822c89 | comment |
Disappointed by the Motive: When Lamprad (the trapped workers' leader) asks Mankins (the rabble rouser and the one who is connected to the Corporate Conspiracy) how much did he and his fellow miners got paid to keep quiet about the lack of safety, Mankins says that $100 each. Lamprad is utterly disgusted to hear that it was such a small amount (Mankins also adds that they were all threatened with being fired as well, not that it helps him). | |

Cut the Safety Rope | |
The Ice Road / int_b29a2ef8 | comment |
Cut the Safety Rope: During the trip, Goldenrod's engine seizes. While attempting to repair it, the ice beneath his trailer breaks and his leg gets trapped. Knowing he can't escape, he convinces Tantoo to sever the strap attaching him to her truck, causing him to drown but saving the other two rigs and wellheads. | |

Hard Truckin': The convoy is transporting the equipment to rescue a group of trapped miners in Canada, taking an extremely dangerous route over a frozen lake to make it before they suffocate. And complicated by a corrupt VP, Sickle, who wants the miners to die. | |
