Thin Ice (originally released as The Convincer) is a 2011 American black comedy film directed by Jill Sprecher and starring Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin and Billy Crudup.

[4] Sprecher was prevented from speaking to the press about the situation for legal reasons, but she had stated she is "heartbroken and devastated" and wanted to remove her name from the film, but under the terms of her contract she is not allowed to do so.

Kyle Smith of the New York Post said in his review; "Kinnear is ideal for this role" and ultimately The Convincer turns out to be an ambitiously structured and clever scam movie".

[7] Rob Nelson of Variety said; "there are pitch-perfect comic notes from the whole ensemble (...) Stephen Mirrione's editing hits all the right beats, and Pope's brilliantly composed widescreen images of the Wisconsin tundra are as bright as any noir's could be".

[8] The re-cut Thin Ice received uniformly negative responses ("disappointing," "poorly edited," "a stinker") after screenings at B-List festivals in October 2011.
