Format:DVD
Highly recommended drama about love, disguise and betrayal. The atmosphere is very tense from early on, and holds you captive up until the end. This story of a love triangle where a betrayed wife goes undercover to befriend her husband's lover, will certainly keep you guessing as to the outcome. Perhaps it's not too much to say that, in the spirit of the times, it is the male character who is worst off at the end.

Better than expected
27 Mar 2011
I came to Amazon.com because I wanted to buy the movie. I loved its twists and turns with believable characters and a great plot. But it's not available here for a USA format. I saw it on TV because they [stupidly] said on cable that it was in Norwegian because I can understand Norwegian, It's in Finnish of course, a very original tongue that is not Scandinavian at all. It was refreshing to see them speaking superb English when they were talking to "foreigners" who were NOT American or British. I sat next to a Finnish woman last night in a Morrocan Restaurant, so I was in a Finnish mood anyway. The acting was so good, and the outcome was unexpected. I really want to own it.

Icy cold romantic triangle flick
28 Sep 2010
A wife realizes her professor hubby is seeing a young student of his. She decides to follow said student. Seeing that the girl runs a jujitsu class, wife naturally enrolls and begins to learn the art of fighting. She also befriends the girl. The screws tighten as we wait for the wife to spring her trap on her husband and his lover. "Black Ice" is beautifully photographed and the nuance of the plot lines don't bludgeon you over the head like our typical Hollywood fare. There's more emotion, doubt, and overall anxiety going on beneath the surface of the wife than just plain revenge. Definitely one to purchase...if you can it find for less than what that one Amazon monopoly Scandinavian DVD retailer sells all of his overpriced DVDs at (hey, not naming names, but you can figure it out).
