Ice Harvest, 5 and 5

Here are 5 reasons Ice Harvest with John Cusack Circa 2005 was good, and 5 reasons why it sucked.

1.It has John Cusack in it.

2.It's a unique approach where the caper in the movie is just the start of the movie and not the driving force in the actual film. I liked that.

3. The cinematography is pretty cool, it's very dark visually yet still upbeat and happy

4. Joan Cusack (the lesser of the Cusacks) was not in this movie, I kept waiting for her to pop out from behind a tree and beg John to throw her a bone like he does in almost every other movie he does. but thankfully she was not there.

5. Drunk ass Oliver Platt is hysterical.

Reasons it sucked.

1. Alot of the characters where a bit over the top, from the chick that ran the strip club with the black eyed strippers in it, to Billy Bob Thortons over acted version of himself.

2. Show me where you can get out of a D.U.I. 5 times in one nite.

3. The flow of time in the movie is almost does not exist. It feels like that night went on forever, which is great and maybe what they were going for, but at least eat dinner before what feels like 11:30 at night.

4.It just gets annoying by the last 20 minutes. nonsensicle plot twists aside

5. John Cusacks character is set up to have to deal with issues with his children and ex-wife, but I think the movie forgot about that halfway through,


All in all, its got John Cusack in it so its very watchable.
