“Ice Road Killer” (** out of four) was an undernourished suspense thriller about a mother and daughter (Sarah Allen and Erica Anderson) on a trip up to an isolated cabin in the frigid North and pick up a hitchhiker (Zoe Belkin) who is on the run from a vicious murderer (Michael Swatton) and soon find themselves targeted by him as they try to turn the tables on him to survive. Beautiful locations in Canada and vibrant cinematography from William Smith unfortunately are in service of a routine story in which the twists-and-turns are tough to care about. Solid performances from all three leads are melted away by film’s thin screenplay.
