Review of On the Ice (2011) by Stephen M — 15 Jan 2012
Saw this film at the local cinema with my Aunty & I must say we were both quite disappointed! The location is incredible & could have served a better film! I didn't like the colors though! Very greyish.
.. The cast is absolutely unconvincing from start till end! These two kids are so plain & unexpressive , you come to wonder if they are not in fact retarded. Qualli can barely articulate & seem to be on the verge of dying every time he has to talk! So pretty much this is a film directed by a first time director & you can see that very clearly! He has a lot of trouble creating a tense climate .
His film could have been a huge thriller with a lot of suspense & some die hard stressing moments. Here we watch a bunch of chaps trying to hide what is obvious from the start & pretty much by the end of the film you are glad the credits finally show up on the ice, because you were about to fall out of your sit out of boredom!
