Review of Thin Ice (2012) by Marcdoyle — 19 Feb 2012
As the lead character (Kinear) starts down what seems like a funnel of bad decisions, the movie struck me as a combination of Fargo and A Simple Plan, which worried me. The story has been done, I thought to myself.
But the staccato performances of the supporting characters suggested there was more going on than a series of unlucky events confronting this scoundrel. In particular, Billy Crudup is fantastic. My real criticism of the film is that it took far too long to kick into crisis mode - the first 20 minutes were verging on boring as they established the key plot points.
Without reveling anything too important about the story, I'll just say it's worth seeing.
