Where to Watch Ice Station Zebra
- ZokkiieApril 16, 2026Takes a little patience at first, but it really pulls you in once the mood settles. There’s this constant low-key tension, like something isn’t right and everyone knows it but won’t say it out loud. That uneasy vibe is done really well. It’s not fast or flashy, but it doesn’t need to be—the atmosphere and performances carry it. Some parts feel a bit dated, sure, but it’s got a lot of character and ends up being way more engaging than you’d expect. Definitely one that sticks with you after.
- TubzSeptember 21, 2025What could have been a classic, was sadly let down by an average script when translated from the book by Alistair MacLean, it lacks the action of Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dre or the suspense of a cold war thriller. Saying that, still a decent movie for a Saturday night in with beers and choccies.
