Press release
ATO Pictures presents
THIN ICE
Opens January 17, 2012!
Mickey Prohaska (Greg Kinnear) is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to
jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Lea Thompson) 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 (Billy Crudup) with a volatile temper dramatically ups the stakes, trapping him in a spiral of danger, deceit and double-crossing.
Blending dark comedy and delirious Midwestern noir, THIN ICE reaches a breaking point that no one — least of all Mickey Prohaska — could ever see coming.
ATO Pictures will release THIN ICE on February 17.
Running Time: 94 minutes
