In the low-quality action flick Icefall, a cave-dwelling poacher is hunted by criminals because he found $20 million of their stolen cash. You can easily predict who will live and who will die, long before the movie ends.

The film does more than your average actioner in letting us know a bit about these characters.

Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky is a long way from his 2007 Oscar-winning World War II drama The Counterfeiters, helming a sort of off-brand Jason Statham thriller.

“Ice Fall” has the ingredients to be junky fun, but director Stefan Ruzowitzky can’t get momentum going, creating a picture that lacks a surprising amount of excitement and danger.
