Big rig ice road driver Mike McCann travels to Nepal to scatter his late brother’s ashes on Mt. Everest.

  • Chandler Danier
    ★ 5/10

    Disappointing use of the Ice Road name. Not an ice road in sight. Support local business. I expected better from you, Liam.

  • MovieGuys
    ★ 4/10

    "Ice Road" is a basic action thriller. The problem with this flick is we have seen this formula so many times before, its lost any spark of inspiration it once had. To make matters worse, this film has a decidedly "B" grade feel to it, adding to the overall lack of appeal. Limited upside includes a lot of action, with chases, fights, gun play and things going "boom". In summary, a bare bones, wholly forgettable, action film.
