Watch Snowman's Land Movie Online No Survey In this wry German dark comedy, Walter (Jürgen Rißmann) is a professional hitman who has just botched a job. Forced to leave the city, he reluctantly takes up an offer from eccentric crime boss Berger (Reiner Schöne) to protect his house (and young, pretty, free-spirited wife Sybille) in a remote region of the Carpathian Mountains. At Walter's side is Mickey (Thomas Wodianka), his chatty, thrill-seeking old friend. After a freak accident, what seemed to be a nice, easy holiday job for the hapless pair soon becomes a comically nightmarish fight for survival. Stunning cinematography of the deceptively idyllic snowy landscapes and hardboiled, clever plot twists make Snowman's Land an unmissable genre classic. -- (C) Music Box Film Release Date Snowman's Land Sep 14, 2012 Limited | |

Review For Snowman's Land |
Any charm evaporates amid the rampant amorality. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
Thomson is more successful at visual composition than narrative momentum; would-be sequences of black comedy are too stretched out to benefit from timing. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Just when it's lulled you into complacency, it springs back to life - and death. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Despite on-point performances, the story is too pitted with holes and loose ends to permit the film a bump from meh to marvelous. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
Unfortunately, the images are more inviting than the narrative. Steve Erickson-Village Voice
The tone here is unhurried and the bursts of violence and narrative played at an aesthetic remove, but the cycles of languor and activity ultimately feel too calculated-the strained overlay of sensationalism onto a desiccated canvas. Andrew Schenker-Time Out New York
A tonal hodgepodge ever at odds with itself, Tomasz Thomson's unctuous, tongue-in-cheek debut is far too self-satisfied with its jokes for any to really be funny. Calum Marsh-Slant Magazine
Fun, often droll crime thriller about a grungy slob of a hit man given an assignment in the remote, snowy Carpathian Mountains provides a nifty ride for both more demanding audiences and the usual suspects looking for raunchiness. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International
A gloomy comedy that's funnier in theory than in practice. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
Tonally, Snowman's Land feels like a German throwback to a '90s indie, but without the energy-the pacing is languid to the point of aimlessness ... Alison Willmore-AV Club
