''Black Crab'' is a 2022 Swedish action thriller, a [[TheFilmOfTheBook film adaptation]] of the novel ''Svart Krabba'' by Jerker Virdborg.
Caroline Edh (Creator/NoomiRapace) is a soldier fighting in an unnamed Nordic country torn by CivilWar and social collapse. She and five other soldiers are chosen for a dangerous mission that could change the tide of the war--to carry a SecretWeapon through enemy territory by ice-skating across the frozen sea surrounding the archipelago they are stationed on. Edh regards it as a SuicideMission, but has a strong incentive to succeed after being told her daughter (who has been missing since the start of the war) is alive in a refugee camp at their destination. Edh is prepared to sacrifice everything, including her own humanity, to be reunited with her.
----
* ActionGirl: Caroline Edh. She's helpless when her daughter is kidnapped in front of her, but the subsequent years of combat have turned her into a hardened soldier.
* AdultFear: In the opening scene, Edh is trying to evacuate her daughter from the bombed city when she's snatched by an armed gang [[NothingIsScarier to an unknown fate.]]
* AgonyOfTheFeet: Edh loses three toes to frostbite.
* AmbiguousSituation:
** Lieutenant Nylund claims to be taking Edh to the base, but drives her to a refugee camp instead and tells her to wait in the vehicle while he does an errand. She's attacked by an armed gang trying to steal her vehicle, but she's able to fight them off and escape. Nylund then turns up unharmed when he's roped in to the mission to replace a missing man. Edh suspects she was set up to be killed and doesn't trust him, while Nylund accuses her of driving off and abandoning him.
** Karimi is discovered on the radio right when there's an enemy helicopter bearing down on them. Is he an enemy agent, or was he trying to contact his girlfriend as he claimed--a communications operator in the destroyed F28 base? [[spoiler:After he's killed (ironically by a genuine enemy agent) a woman claiming to be the girlfriend calls on the radio asking for him, but it's pointed out she could just as easily be the enemy trying to locate them.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: After Captain Forsberg falls through the ice, Edh dives fearlessly into the chilly water. Turns out she's risking death not to save her, but to retrieve the cannisters on which the mission depends.
* BavarianFireDrill: [[spoiler:Edh and Nyland decide to destroy the virus, but they are unarmed and crippled from their injuries. They are however decorated heroes, which gets them up to the door to the laboratory before the guards try to stop them.]]
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted; even at the start of the mission Edh has visible facial injuries.
* ClosestThingWeGot: Edh is a champion speed skater familiar with the terrain, but the others are just whoever the military could get hold of with ice-skating experience in the middle of a war. Malik for instance is an ice hockey player who doesn't even recognise the skates they're using.
* CrapsackWorld: A CivilWar is devastating the country, most of the population is in refugee camps, armed gangs are stealing and kidnapping children, and atrocities are committed on both sides. There's an apocalyptic atmosphere that several characters compare to the end of the world foretold in UsefulNotes/NorseMythology. [[spoiler:Then we discover that the military authorities are willing to virtually wipe out the civilian population and RestartTheWorld rather than lose the war.]]
* CrashingDreams: Edh keeps dreaming of the last day she saw her daughter. In one dream, she's washing her daughter's hair when their city is bombed by enemy planes; she then wakes up to find their base is being shelled by the enemy. In another dream her daughter warns of approaching enemy soldiers, and she wakes up to find an enemy patrol about to attack them.
* DangerThinIce: For the first time in decades the sea ice around the archipelago has frozen from shore to shore. It's not thick enough for vehicles, but hopefully soldiers on ice skates can make it across. Hopefully...
* DayOfTheJackboot: The legitimate government is said to have fallen, meaning the military appears to be the only functioning authority.
* DeadMansSwitch: [[spoiler:Soldiers catch Caroline Edh after she's stolen the weaponized virus from the laboratory, only to reveal she's taped the two vials to a hand grenade and is holding down the safety lever. Admiral Nordh tries to persuade her to hand them over, but she works her way to a ledge above the sea and jumps off, detonating the grenade in mid-air to destroy the virus.]]
* TheDeterminator: Deconstructed with Edh, whose desire to be reunited with her daughter at all cost blinds her to what she's doing to achieve this.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: [[spoiler:Edh and Nyland dress in the white HazmatSuits and evacuate with everyone else to get past the guards at the laboratory, leading to a [[WhiteShirtOfDeath White Hazmat Suit of Death]] as the former bleeds out.]]
* EmpathyDollShot: Edh has to tell herself to PullYourselfTogetherWoman after finding a bloodstained cuddly toy in the frozen luxury liner.
* EvilWearsBlack: Averted; the enemy wears snow camouflage while the squad wears dark uniforms as their mission takes place at night. Played straight with Admiral Nordh and her soldiers.
* FalseInnocenceTrick: In the refugee camp a woman approaches Edh begging for help for her sick child. The swaddling clothes actually hide a machete that she tries to cut Edh up with.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: A subversion; Edh asks to keep the photo of her grown-up daughter. [[spoiler:She survives the mission only to discover the photo is a fake. Other soldiers play the variation straight by discussing what they'll do after the war, only to get killed.]]
* FictionalCountry: The cities of Tessenoy and Odo don't exist.
* {{Flashbacks}}: Edh has several dreams about the last day she saw her daughter.
* FriendlySniper: Granvik is the youngest and most innocent member of the group.
* GenderFlip: In the novel the protagonist is a man, Karl Edh.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:Nyland appears to set Edh up to be killed in the refugee camp, and steals the virus right before enemy soldiers attack, making it look like he's an enemy agent. Turns out he just wants to destroy the virus to prevent it from being used. He works with Edh to ensure it's destroyed and is the only member of the group to survive.]]
* {{Hallucinations}}: As Edh treks alone across the ice to Odo, she's haunted by hallucinations of the other soldiers who died to get her this far.
* HammerAndSickleRemovedForYourProtection: The 'enemy' is unnamed, with no insignia on their uniforms or helicopters, and there's no discussion of the war aims or motivations of either side.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:Edh wants to abandon Malik in the ice-bound liner after he's gutshot, to the violent objection of Granvik. He shoots himself to settle the issue. Later Edh also gets wounded in the guts and tricks Nyland into getting on the evacuation helicopter to secure her seat, moments before Admiral Nordh's men catch up with her.]]
* JumpingOnAGrenade: [[spoiler:Granvik is shot right after he pulls the pin on a grenade. Edh shoots the man who threw it and Granvik grabs the grenade to throw it out of the foxhole, but it explodes killing him and wounding Edh.]]
* JustFollowingOrders: A subversion; Edh gives this excuse after discovering they are carrying a biological weapon, but it's just a cover for her real motive.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: Soldiers who deserted are shown hanging from a freeway overpass.
* MedalOfDishonor: [[spoiler:Edh wakes up a crippled hero, and Admiral Nordh gives her a promotion and a medal. Ironically Nyland gets the same, after being shot by Edh trying to destroy the virus. Edh only cares about seeing her daughter, only to be told it was all a lie.]]
* MildlyMilitary: The soldiers are a mix of reservists and hastily-trained civilians, and they make mistakes that bring the enemy down on them on several occasions.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Edh sacrifices her comrades and cripples herself to see her daughter again, only to discover it was a MotivationalLie to give her the HeroicWillpower to get through. Worse, if her daughter really is alive somewhere, the weapon she's delivered is a biological virus that will kill most of the civilian population and ensure her death.]]
* OneLastJob: The soldiers are promised they will be released from military service if they succeed in their mission. [[spoiler:It's probably another MotivationalLie and even if it were true, where would they go with a doomsday virus devastating the country?]]
* OperationBlank: Operation Black Crab, which also serves as a password/countersign.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Edh blows up herself along with the virus to ensure it will never be used.]]
* RuinsOfTheModernAge: While Edh is being driven through her former hometown, they drive past an apartment building with a massive shell hole ripped through it. Later they come across a luxury liner frozen into the ice.
* SafeZoneHotSpot: The group take refuge from a patrolling helicopter on an island where they discover an elderly couple still living there who refused to evacuate. [[spoiler:Then Edh looks under the table and sees a submachine gun hidden there...]]
* SecretWeapon: [[spoiler:The cannister contains a biological weapon that will kill everyone not in a sealed bunker.]]
* SincerityMode: During the mission briefing, Colonel Raad tells his aide to drop the propaganda and tell the unvarnished truth about how dire the situation is. Put bluntly, they're losing the war and the mission is their only hope of achieving victory.
* SoleSurvivor
** Lance Corporal Karimi was assigned to the mission from base F28, right before it was wiped out by the enemy with no survivors. His girlfriend was a soldier there so he doesn't take the news well.
** An enemy soldier opens fire on them from a bunker. He's shot by Granvik and when Edh storms the bunker, she discovers that the other soldiers there have already frozen to death.
* TheSquadette: They do have a female captain but she's killed early on, leaving Edh the only female member of TheSquad.
* SoMuchForStealth
** After they take refuge in an abandoned house, an enemy troop-carrying helicopter heads for them; either because it saw the smoke from the fire used to warm Edh from hypothermia, or the enemy picked up Karami's radio transmission.
** Edh turns on her flashlight attachment at night and draws a helicopter gunship. Later they light a fire in an enemy bunker to avoid freezing like its previous occupants, and the next day a patrol turns up to investigate. [[spoiler:Nyland, who was supposed to be on guard duty, doesn't help by choosing to desert the mission instead.]]
* SuicideMission: A hundred nautical miles behind enemy lines across frozen sea ice at night. Edh flat-out tells Colonel Raad it's a suicide mission.
* SymbolicSereneSubmersion: [[spoiler:After Edh blows herself up to destroy the virus, there's a shot of her floating under the water, embracing her daughter.]]
* ThrowawayWeapons: Edh ditches the heavy sniper rifle as she treks across the ice towards Odo. She's used up the last rounds anyway.
* TwoFaced: Captain Forsberg has scarring on half of her face.
* WarIsHell
** The troop train carrying Edh and other soldiers is also carrying plastic-wrapped corpses.
** Someone trips while crossing the ice at night, only to realise there are bodies of civilians all around them, frozen just under the water. When it's suggested the enemy killed them, it's pointed out their own side is just as likely to have done it.
** Granvik was BuriedInAPileOfCorpses along with his childhood friend. He enlisted after this [[NotSoDifferentRemark only to find his own side weren't any different]].

* CrapsackWorld: A CivilWar is devastating the country, most of the population is in refugee camps, armed gangs are stealing and kidnapping children, and atrocities are committed on both sides. There's an apocalyptic atmosphere that several characters compare to the end of the world foretold in UsefulNotes/NorseMythology. [[spoiler:Then we discover that the military authorities are willing to virtually wipe out the civilian population and RestartTheWorld rather than lose the war.]]
* CrashingDreams: Edh keeps dreaming of the last day she saw her daughter. In one dream, she's washing her daughter's hair when their city is bombed by enemy planes; she then wakes up to find their base is being shelled by the enemy. In another dream her daughter warns of approaching enemy soldiers, and she wakes up to find an enemy patrol about to attack them.
* DangerThinIce: For the first time in decades the sea ice around the archipelago has frozen from shore to shore. It's not thick enough for vehicles, but hopefully soldiers on ice skates can make it across. Hopefully...
* DayOfTheJackboot: The legitimate government is said to have fallen, meaning the military appears to be the only functioning authority.
* DeadMansSwitch: [[spoiler:Soldiers catch Caroline Edh after she's stolen the weaponized virus from the laboratory, only to reveal she's taped the two vials to a hand grenade and is holding down the safety lever. Admiral Nordh tries to persuade her to hand them over, but she works her way to a ledge above the sea and jumps off, detonating the grenade in mid-air to destroy the virus.]]
* TheDeterminator: Deconstructed with Edh, whose desire to be reunited with her daughter at all cost blinds her to what she's doing to achieve this.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: [[spoiler:Edh and Nyland dress in the white HazmatSuits and evacuate with everyone else to get past the guards at the laboratory, leading to a [[WhiteShirtOfDeath White Hazmat Suit of Death]] as the former bleeds out.]]
* EmpathyDollShot: Edh has to tell herself to PullYourselfTogetherWoman after finding a bloodstained cuddly toy in the frozen luxury liner.
* EvilWearsBlack: Averted; the enemy wears snow camouflage while the squad wears dark uniforms as their mission takes place at night. Played straight with Admiral Nordh and her soldiers.
* FalseInnocenceTrick: In the refugee camp a woman approaches Edh begging for help for her sick child. The swaddling clothes actually hide a machete that she tries to cut Edh up with.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: A subversion; Edh asks to keep the photo of her grown-up daughter. [[spoiler:She survives the mission only to discover the photo is a fake. Other soldiers play the variation straight by discussing what they'll do after the war, only to get killed.]]
* FictionalCountry: The cities of Tessenoy and Odo don't exist.
* {{Flashbacks}}: Edh has several dreams about the last day she saw her daughter.
* FriendlySniper: Granvik is the youngest and most innocent member of the group.
* GenderFlip: In the novel the protagonist is a man, Karl Edh.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:Nyland appears to set Edh up to be killed in the refugee camp, and steals the virus right before enemy soldiers attack, making it look like he's an enemy agent. Turns out he just wants to destroy the virus to prevent it from being used. He works with Edh to ensure it's destroyed and is the only member of the group to survive.]]
* {{Hallucinations}}: As Edh treks alone across the ice to Odo, she's haunted by hallucinations of the other soldiers who died to get her this far.
* HammerAndSickleRemovedForYourProtection: The 'enemy' is unnamed, with no insignia on their uniforms or helicopters, and there's no discussion of the war aims or motivations of either side.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:Edh wants to abandon Malik in the ice-bound liner after he's gutshot, to the violent objection of Granvik. He shoots himself to settle the issue. Later Edh also gets wounded in the guts and tricks Nyland into getting on the evacuation helicopter to secure her seat, moments before Admiral Nordh's men catch up with her.]]
* JumpingOnAGrenade: [[spoiler:Granvik is shot right after he pulls the pin on a grenade. Edh shoots the man who threw it and Granvik grabs the grenade to throw it out of the foxhole, but it explodes killing him and wounding Edh.]]
* JustFollowingOrders: A subversion; Edh gives this excuse after discovering they are carrying a biological weapon, but it's just a cover for her real motive.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: Soldiers who deserted are shown hanging from a freeway overpass.
* MedalOfDishonor: [[spoiler:Edh wakes up a crippled hero, and Admiral Nordh gives her a promotion and a medal. Ironically Nyland gets the same, after being shot by Edh trying to destroy the virus. Edh only cares about seeing her daughter, only to be told it was all a lie.]]
* MildlyMilitary: The soldiers are a mix of reservists and hastily-trained civilians, and they make mistakes that bring the enemy down on them on several occasions.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Edh sacrifices her comrades and cripples herself to see her daughter again, only to discover it was a MotivationalLie to give her the HeroicWillpower to get through. Worse, if her daughter really is alive somewhere, the weapon she's delivered is a biological virus that will kill most of the civilian population and ensure her death.]]
* OneLastJob: The soldiers are promised they will be released from military service if they succeed in their mission. [[spoiler:It's probably another MotivationalLie and even if it were true, where would they go with a doomsday virus devastating the country?]]
* OperationBlank: Operation Black Crab, which also serves as a password/countersign.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Edh blows up herself along with the virus to ensure it will never be used.]]
* RuinsOfTheModernAge: While Edh is being driven through her former hometown, they drive past an apartment building with a massive shell hole ripped through it. Later they come across a luxury liner frozen into the ice.
* SafeZoneHotSpot: The group take refuge from a patrolling helicopter on an island where they discover an elderly couple still living there who refused to evacuate. [[spoiler:Then Edh looks under the table and sees a submachine gun hidden there...]]
* SecretWeapon: [[spoiler:The cannister contains a biological weapon that will kill everyone not in a sealed bunker.]]
* SincerityMode: During the mission briefing, Colonel Raad tells his aide to drop the propaganda and tell the unvarnished truth about how dire the situation is. Put bluntly, they're losing the war and the mission is their only hope of achieving victory.
* SoleSurvivor
** Lance Corporal Karimi was assigned to the mission from base F28, right before it was wiped out by the enemy with no survivors. His girlfriend was a soldier there so he doesn't take the news well.
** An enemy soldier opens fire on them from a bunker. He's shot by Granvik and when Edh storms the bunker, she discovers that the other soldiers there have already frozen to death.
* TheSquadette: They do have a female captain but she's killed early on, leaving Edh the only female member of TheSquad.
* SoMuchForStealth
** After they take refuge in an abandoned house, an enemy troop-carrying helicopter heads for them; either because it saw the smoke from the fire used to warm Edh from hypothermia, or the enemy picked up Karami's radio transmission.
** Edh turns on her flashlight attachment at night and draws a helicopter gunship. Later they light a fire in an enemy bunker to avoid freezing like its previous occupants, and the next day a patrol turns up to investigate. [[spoiler:Nyland, who was supposed to be on guard duty, doesn't help by choosing to desert the mission instead.]]
* SuicideMission: A hundred nautical miles behind enemy lines across frozen sea ice at night. Edh flat-out tells Colonel Raad it's a suicide mission.
* SymbolicSereneSubmersion: [[spoiler:After Edh blows herself up to destroy the virus, there's a shot of her floating under the water, embracing her daughter.]]
* ThrowawayWeapons: Edh ditches the heavy sniper rifle as she treks across the ice towards Odo. She's used up the last rounds anyway.
* TwoFaced: Captain Forsberg has scarring on half of her face.
* WarIsHell
** The troop train carrying Edh and other soldiers is also carrying plastic-wrapped corpses.
** Someone trips while crossing the ice at night, only to realise there are bodies of civilians all around them, frozen just under the water. When it's suggested the enemy killed them, it's pointed out their own side is just as likely to have done it.
** Granvik was BuriedInAPileOfCorpses along with his childhood friend. He enlisted after this [[NotSoDifferentRemark only to find his own side weren't any different]].
