Mickey Prohaska (Greg Kinnear) is a Wisconsin insurance agent and motivational speaker who is down on his luck. His main problem is that he lacks integrity. This gets him in trouble as "you can't cheat an honest man." His wife (Lea Thompson) has given him the boot. Mickey has a scheme to rob an unsuspecting retired farmer (Alan Arkin) of a valuable violin he has laying around the house. Unfortunately Mickey needs the help of an unscrupulous psychotic home alarm installer (Billy Crudup) to pull the caper off. Things don't go as planned...

One of the problems of this film is that it has similarities to "Fargo." I kept making comparisons in my mind and discovered Greg Kinnear is no William H. Macy; Billy Crudup is no Steve Buscemi. In spite of that, the film is worth watching for its own merits. The plot starts out plausible and slowly inches its way toward the bizarre. The film made clever use of dialouge and the violin soundtrack. The film is better if you can watch it without thinking about "Fargo." Sorry I mentioned it.

Good comedy crime drama.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, near oral sex, no nudity.

Format: Blu-ray
Thin Ice was originally called The Convincer and fared very well at the Sundance Festival, with much credit going to director Jill Sprecher, subsequently, production house Werc Werk Works demanded a re-cut to make the film 'faster' for a more commercial market - something Sprecher was against and refused to do. The re-edited version is called Thin Ice (this one) and whilst bearing her name, it is only because the director cannot legally rescind the usage.

Controversy aside; Thin Ice feature Greg Kinnear as Micky, an insurance-salesman. Bankrupt & thrown-out by his wife, dwindling sales and hating the Wisconsin weather leaves little room for joy in Micky's life. But when an elderly absent-minded policy-holder of his stumbles across a violin he inadvertently owns; Micky sees a way to sell the violin, clear his debts and get his life back on track, but wrestles with the morality of conning a vulnerable old man (Allen Arkin) out his rightful fortune. But are things that simple? Time will tell.

This film is slow in places and the environs are bland and not all that memorable, but it is the actor's performances that make this film work. Kinnear plays a morally-ambiguous salesman well, using people to his own end whilst all the while showing guilt for doing so, not an easy role to nail. Arkin plays the senile old man very well, whilst Billy Crudup (Watchmen) plays the locksmith with true verve.

Extra Content: Behind the Scenes, Deleted Scenes and the Sundance Premiere Featurette, offering a bit more insight into the story of the making of Thin Ice.

I really enjoyed this film. It gently lolls along at a steady pace with nothing remarkable happening, then it literally hits you like a hammer. A truly great plot, with some memorable performances. I won't say any more for fear of spoiling it, just watch this little cracker.

Bought this on the off chance having never heard of this film before. Funny, great plot and fantastic twist in the plot.
