Bear Island (1979)
5/10
You had me at "Nazi gold".

Warning: Spoilers
This film has a superbly bearded cast. Donald Sutherland, Christopher Lee, and several other cast members sport some real bushy numbers that you just don't see nowadays. I guess if you're hanging out in the arctic the natural thing to do would be to have a beard growing competition.

But I digress! What else do you need besides beards? How about a taut suspense thriller with Russian spies, snowmobile chases and a submarine full of Nazi gold? I must admit when I first put this in the VCR I wasn't sure what to expect. An action flick with explosions? Some convoluted international espionage? As well as these things, I soon settled into a half decent movie which has a surprisingly great plot! Some of the chases last a little too long for my liking, but hey, who cares what I think! Enjoy the movie!
