"Christmas Eve. Ho ho fucking ho!"

At its heart, The Ice Harvest is a contemporary film noir, and a brutal thriller with splashes of black humour throughout. Director Harold Ramis is perhaps best remembered for the bespectacled nerd in Ghostbusters. Ramis made more of an impression as a director when he helmed such films as Groundhog Day and Analyze This.

I have never heard of this movie but I thought it could be a nice watch. Honestly, this flick really had some potential. Good director (Harold Ramis)? Check! Good cast (John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Platt)? Check! Interesting premise? Check! Unfortunately, in spite those good promises, it still failed to deliver. The mood of the whole thing is pretty gloomy and I enjoyed ... read more

Good cast (John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Platt)? Check! Interesting premise? Check! Unfortunately, in spite those good promises, it still failed to deliver. The mood of the whole thing is pretty gloomy and I enjoyed it but maybe the pace was wrong and the story was definitely not interesting enough. In my opinion, it was just too much black comedy routine, the whole thing was just too predictable after a while, I kind of lost interest in the story and the characters involved. It's too bad because the 3 main actors (John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Connie Nielsen) were really perfectly cast and they all gave s” read more
