So I started watching this film and I said to myself, “self, what’s this all about?†It seemed dull, dull, and dullier. “What was Greg Kinnear thinking when he took on this role?†Then all of a sudden, the film takes this funky turn and I’ve fallen through the ice and am absorbed in the story up to my neck…and it keeps getting better and better. With rapid and unexpected plot twists and turns and a climax that just sings, THIN ICE is a small gem of a film with great performances and a crafty everyman story.
It seems like ages that a movie featuring a good cunning tale has unraveled on the big screen and I’m happy to say Thin Ice fits the bill. A smartly written well-acted story with so many twists and turns I found myself wondering, “How did I not see that coming� It’s a deceiving, manipulative and funny film played out in a quick tempo that kept me spellbound throughout.
Inspired by a true story, Get Low transports the audience to the late 1930’s for a very unusual event. Top notch acting, directing and smart cinematography makes the film an exceptional piece for those that like their drama with some dark comedy. Get Low stands a chance for award nominations in all aspects, especially the acting of Robert Duvall and Bill Murray.
