Synopsis

Once she'd been a dancer. Now she lies on a sidewalk, her blood seeping into the snow. The detectives of the 87th precinct are learning about ice: in a mulitimillion dollar showbiz scam, in the glittering diamonds that spill out of a dead man's vest, in the veins of a small time pusher. As the detectives scramble for evidence, as the city shivers, a killer is one step ahead, and the heat is still on.

Anecdotes

"Ice was exactly that. We made it during the winter in Toronto. I was wearing a cassock all of the time, and I discovered all sorts of new breezes. It was directed by Bradford May, who also directed Darkman III and Madonna: Innocence Lost. His favourite phrase is "Cut! Print! It's in the movie!!" I can't tell you how wonderful that sounds in below zero temperatures in the middle of the night."
