The Ice Harvest
(USA, 2005, 90 minutes)
A crooked lawyer and a mob henchman steal two million dollars from their common employer on Christmas Eve, but getting away with it is a whole different matter. Dullish, predictable attempt at dry-witted film noir whose economic script and solid performances required more committed handling.
Focus Features presents a Bona Fide production. Starring John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Connie Nielsen, Randy Quaid, Oliver Platt, Mike Starr. Directed by Harold Ramis; produced by Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa; screenplay by Richard Russo and Robert Benton, from the novel by Scott Phillips; music by David Kitay; director of photography, Alar Kivilo; production designer, Patrizia von Brandenstein; costume designer, Susan Kaufmann; film editor, Lee Percy.
