Netflix is behind a bunch of various genre-focused films and that trend continues with “Black Crab.” The post-thriller will focus on a woman looking to end an apocalyptic war and save her daughter, a reluctant soldier embarks on a desperate mission to cross a frozen sea carrying a top-secret cargo.
The streaming giant has released a new trailer of the film directed by Adam Berg with a cast that consists of Noomi Rapace, Jakob Oftebro, Erik Enge, Dar Salim, Ardalan Esmaili, Aliette Opheim, and David Dencik. It has a script penned by Berg and Pelle Rådström, based on the novel “Black Crab” by Jerker Virdborg.
Here’s the official synopsis:
BLACK CRAB is a Swedish action thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by war. During a long, harsh winter, six soldiers embark on a covert mission across a frozen archipelago, risking their lives to transport a mysterious package that could end the war. As they enter hostile enemy territory, they have no idea what dangers lie ahead or who—if anyone—they can trust. But for speed skater turned soldier Caroline Edh, the mission is about something else entirely. Starring Noomi Rapace in a film directed by Adam Berg, BLACK CRAB follows six soldiers on a desperate mission to bring an end to the war which has destroyed their lives.
Rapace is best known for her roles in the original Swedish version of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” and Ridley Scott‘s underrated “Alien” prequel “Prometheus.” The actress has a fierce physical presence with many of her roles, making her a great asset for action projects.
