Synopsis
The Ice Harvest (2005) is an American crime comedy directed by Harold Ramis — watch it online on iFILM. Christmas Eve in Wichita, Kansas. Lawyer Charlie Arglist and his partner Vic have just skimmed two million dollars from the local mob's accounts. The plan: lay low until morning, when the ice storm breaks and they can get out of town.
Simple enough. Except the night refuses to cooperate. Charlie drifts from strip club to bar, running into the wrong people at every stop, while doubts about Vic start to sharpen into something uglier. John Cusack plays Charlie with his trademark deadpan; Billy Bob Thornton is Vic, cool and unreadable. Connie Nielsen plays a club owner who may have her own angle on the money.
Harold Ramis adapted Scott Phillips's novel into a lean, ice-cold comedy that swaps holiday warmth for hard-boiled noir — the tagline reads "Thick Thieves. Thin Ice." and the film delivers exactly that. Stream The Ice Harvest (2005) online on iFILM.
