The Ice Harvest (2005)

This crime noir stars John Cusack and it was not one of his best work, but still watchable.
John Cusack plays Charlie Arglist a lawyer who just scammed the mobsters together with his partner in crime, Billy Bob Thornton for USD2 Million. Oliver Platt plays his drunken best friend who married his ex wife.

It's Christmas Eve and every thing which seems to go wrong does in this dark comedy.
Some memorable lines from Oliver Platt's character who told John Cusack, "At our age, regrets are all we have left in this world."

The scene with the box behind the car reminded me of Pulp Fiction, so I wont exactly call this movie original, but on a rainy day when there's nothing much to do, this is worth a rental.

5.5 /10
