John Cusack turns in another fine performance as Charlie Arglist, a soft-spoken lawyer who works for local mob boss Bill Guerrard (Randy Quaid). Charlie hangs out in strip clubs, pines after femme fatale Renata (Connie Nielsen), rarely sees his kids, and basically watches life happen all around him. Ready for a change, he and the much more hardened Vic Cavanaugh (Billy Bob Thornton) steal $2.1 million from Guerrard and plan to play it cool before leaving town, trying not to create suspicion. All they need to do is make it through Christmas Eve--but that's not going to be easy for Charlie, who spends the long night getting caught up in a series of very funny, very dangerous, and very bloody events that unfold while sweet Christmas carols echo in the background.

When I look back at The Ice Harvest, it's a typical neo-noir crime movie with a truly typical story, typical characters, and a typical atmosphere. the cast is star-studded, but it has one single flaw – it doesn't work for me and doesn't evoke the emotions it should. There are several reasons for this, and it must be emphasized that it's not a disaster that would cause an outcry from a film fan. It will surely find its audience, but for a genre fan, it's unoriginal, and anyone who wants to get an idea of the genre should find a film of better quality. It's the kind of film where you know there should be a witty line coming, but it doesn't come across as funny, and there should be a funny situation, but it doesn't work as it should. The quality of the dialogue is lacking, and the screenplay doesn't address some motives and situations while explaining others only in the very end. Overall impression: 45%.
