The movie is about a low end business man struggling to survive and being "in a position" to upgrade his status and way of life. It has the feel of Cedar Rapids, Fargo, Rum Diary (Coen Brothers very well could have done this one with Johnny Depp in Greg Kinnear's role) and other dramas along those lines. We get taken on a roller coaster ride by a meth addict, insurance salesman, senior citizens, locals and out of towners in this drama.
The movie seems to be written to keep people in their seats and hoping for the best (or worst) for the characters on the screen. The ending(s) come as a surprise and pleasure. Audience members seemed to be of near-retirement age and enjoyed the films based on exiting chatter and intermovie chit-chat. Not much in the way of action or suspense, but well worth the time in theatres. Acting and story are top end!
Thin Ice pulls a weaker 4 out of 5 Cyclones.
