The movie never fully clicks.

As a caustic comedy, "Thin Ice" resides just slightly south of "Fargo."
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

At one point you're looking at the screen going, "This makes no sense!" Then after a long conclusionary explanation, you shake your head and say, "I'm still not sure that made much sense."
Tom Long, Detroit News

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
