Ice Harvest, The (2005) (R)

Quicklook Rating★★

synopsis

In icebound Wichita, Kan., its Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard. But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata, who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking -- and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises

MovieGoer Review

The Ice Harvest drifts toward the dark, lonely world of suspense-comedy but has a tough time pinning down either genre. Instead, it remains ambiguous and plays like a bad Bad Santa.
