WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

anwaee-78990 I have been suspicious of this being staged for a long time. Now I know for sure after seeing Todd getting his rig stuck on a tight turn. Even a novice knows you do not make a sharp right turn from the very right hand side of the road. It looks to me it was done on purpose to give the show something that a trucker might do to try to get out of trouble. A trucker would never put a rig in that position to start with, even with the least amount of experience. Good By IRC.

CaptainJinks There is absolutely no existing reason known to man to watch this. Why History Channel keeps airing this is beyond me. Typically it revolves around some trucker who drives his vehicle while saying "I'm so scared" in countless verbal variations. Maybe this is very interesting to some, but I really don't get it. Equal shows like Deadliest Catch at least have some pay-off when you get to see the catch. But here? Nothing. It's basically promoted as a show about going down dramatically through the ice. But they never do. So if you really want to see trucks disappearing through a hole in the arctic ice, this is not it. Then it's the music. Fact: dull moments don't become exiting just because you put horror/action-movie music on them. I get that it's inexpensive to produce programs like this. But that's all there is to it, really. And that it's boring. To the point that people with average brain capacity get offended. Please excuse my bad English, I'm angry and Swedish.

Flynn2 Channel 5's new television series, "Ice road truckers" was suitably intriguing at first sight. Further into the series we are introduced to more and more characters and we see their personalities unravel before our eyes.We learn about aspects of their job such as the huge machines they use to carry out their bidding, and what kind of a life they lead while trawling the Ice Road. All the truckers we see are working for the head honcho "Hugh Roland" a big, hairy, macho man nick named "the polar bear" by his employees.Soon enough, the true personality of the drivers is revealed; from the very likable southern Californian "T.J." to the rather arrogant Rick Yemm. That brings me to another point, the swearing. Unfortunately the drivers tend to swear every other sentence which leads to a series of very annoying beeps.The introduction for every episode has so far been repeated from the pilot episode, which has lots of cheesy introductions like Alex's line where he says "It's called the dash for the cash" which makes for some cringe worthy viewing. Apart from these small hang ups (and all the other stuff I have no doubt forgotten) Ice road truckers makes for a likable documentary and some easy Friday night viewing.

wacocga The show is OK, but that narrator??!! Is he trying to imitate John Wayne or Howard Cosell? He has a halting, style so slow I could make a ham sandwich between words. He narrates many A&E shows, but for some reason his delivery is slower on I.R.T. He's also using a weird kind of accent he doesn't use on the other shows he narrates. The Characters are colorful enough, but I can't take the narration for very long. Apart from the narration, it's better than anything else during the summer rerun season on Sunday night. All in all, I think I'd rather spend a week on a crab boat and make twice as much as these guys without the expense of a big rig.
