In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it's Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist (John Cusack) just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh (Billy Bob Thornton) have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard (Randy Quaid). But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata (Connie Nielsen), who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten (Oliver Platt) to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking - and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises.

Wintry noir
Now, I remember when this came out for cinema release - in fact I'm not even sure if it came out in the UK! I think it did THAT bad in the states. I ... read more »
A change of pace from the usual high concept fare, Robert Benton's adaptation of a novel by Charles Baxter is a gentle philosophical comedy that will primarily appeal to older viewers' (older than the usual teenagers Hollywood caters to I mean). `It's true that we've seen Morgan Freeman playing sage counselor and friend rather often over the years.
