It's just a little slow getting started.

As a caustic comedy, "Thin Ice" resides just slightly south of "Fargo."

Thin Ice is a good movie, and depending on your tastes, this may even be a great movie. It's well written, well acted, well shot.

Thin Ice is just too thin to keep from cracking and sinking...fast.

8/10

Your bad guy needs to be really bad, and when he gets it in the end, it is so gratifying, it's all worth it. This movie delivers in spades.

Intermittently funny FARGO wannabe.

Jun 18, 2018

An interesting concept and the makings of what could have been a cool scam. If only it wasn't burdened by an extremely slow story that took way too long to get to its climax. Then, when it did, it only maintained it's interesting edge for about 10 minutes. The scam turned out pretty clever, but it simply too long to get there. My interest was LONG gone. Had it not been for some fantastic actors, I would have had a hard time giving it a single star. A plot like this deserved a lot better.
