Rather boring. Too much talk, little action. There's brief gay scene.
David Hewlett, Martin Cummins, Brandy Ledford
When five old friends go to a cabin in the winter woods, they don't expect to find their buried secrets and resentments exposed, but that's what happens in Ice Men. Vaughn (Martin Cummins, D...( read more
)) has taken ownership of the family cabin, but it's haunted by memories of his brutal father. He invites his three best friends to join him for a weekend, but turns sullen and resentful when his older brother Trevor (Ian Tracey, Desolation Sound) shows up as well. The friends drink, gamble, hunt for deer, play ice hockey, and wrestle with some unexpected sexual tension--and when Vaughn's ex Renee (Brandy Ledford, Andromeda) shows up, everything that's simmering bubbles over. Ice Men delves into the ways men do and don't communicate--but it doesn't delve very deep. The actors are game, but their characters are little more than bland stereotypes. Tracey, as the self-destructive and aimless older brother, has the best role and shows some raffish charisma. Brief nudity and sexual activity. --Bret Fetzer

Sure, there's a gay character and there is a gay sex scene but it's not the core of the story, which is certainly interesting. The story really does center around these five old friends and how they discover how much their lives h...( read more) -
