Indie Crime Comedy/Thriller Thin Ice Opens Friday, February 17th

The indie crime comedy/thriller Thin Ice opens for a limited engagement in theaters this Friday, February 17th.

Greg Kinnear stars as Mickey Prohaska, a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story — all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Alan Arkin), who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. But Mickey's attempt to con the old man spins out of control when a nosy, unstable locksmith with a volatile temper (Billy Crudup) dramatically ups the stakes, trapping him in a spiral of danger, deceit and double-crossing.

Directed by Jill Sprecher from a script co-written with her sister Karen Sprecher, the film — which was originally titled The Convincer — runs 93 minutes and is rated R for for language, and brief violent and sexual content. Watch a trailer for Thin Ice below.
