I watched Ice Road: Vengeance (2025) because it follows an ice-road truck driver ( Liam Neeson ) who travels to the Nepal to scatter his brother’s ashes where he must fend off mercenaries.
Hiking related, I was hoping.
Rotten Tomatoes, 14% of 22 critics’ reviews are positive.
BUT the movie is hilariously bad and inaccurate in describing Nepal.
It was filmed in Victoria, Australia, with the town of Walhalla serving as a double for a Nepalese village.
The production also utilized real footage from Nepal for scenes shot on LED screens at the studios.
Arriving in Kathmandu, Mike hires Dhani, a skilled local Everest guide. They join a group of passengers aboard the “Kiwi Express”, a tour bus navigating the perilous “Road to the Sky,” a narrow, high-altitude mountain pass.
They are literally taking a BUS to Everest Base Camp.
Skip this movie.
