One of the best films I've seen in a while. From its original and funny story to its all-star cast of actors, I enjoyed this movie from start to finish.

It basically follows Charlie [John Cusack] and his 'partner' Vic [Billy Bob], who together have successfully stolen over two million dollars from Charlie's boss. But, as they say, there's no such thing as the perfect crime.

"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.

Unfortunately, in spite of all those good promises, it ... read more

"Format: DVD Viewing: 2nd Thoughts: I was rifling through my DVD collection the other night, looking for some holiday fair when I stumbled across the Ice Harvest. Don't recall much about it other than it was a Christmas crime-comedy with Cusack and Billy Bob. So I figured this would be a solid choice. Man was I wrong. This is like a Coen Bros movie if you strip everything that makes it great from it. It just meanders along and nothing really exciting happens for the most part and worst of all, a "
