What a weird movie. Basically seems like a very long soap opera or TV episode with a lot of twists and turns, which is odd, since it’s mostly just two guys talking, and sometimes fighting or chasing each other. Something very British, almost, about the way it’s all talking and at least tries to get by on strong plotting and dialogue rather than action… not that it succeeds. Two friends go out for a night of ice fishing on a cabin on a Minnesota lake, and one or both of them have ulterior motives. An impressive number of plot twist for two guys stuck in a cabin, and especially since it keeps going when it should end, into a whole other part of the story. However, that’s as much good as I’ll say about it it: it’s dreadfully overwrought, hammily-acted, with actually too many plot twists, and primarily impressive for just going way to far over the top in pretty much every way except entertainment value. Like I said: kind of like a soap opera. Shot on 30fps video instead of film, too, to add to that feeling.
