Ice Harvest movie review


A shady lawyer attempts a Christmas Eve crime, hoping to swindle the local mob out of some money. But his partner, a strip club owner, might have different plans for the cash. (IMDb)


The least successful of all the John Cusack films, Ice Harvest is a contemporary caper film that falls over its feet in its efforts to be witty and edgy.


The result is unentertaining and tedious.
