We just got back from seeing the movie “Frozen River<\/a>” which stars Melissa Leo<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Ms Leo was a star of one of our favorite TV series of all time, “Homicide: Life on the Street<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The movie involves a woman whose trying to get a real house after her husband runs off; he’s a former gambling addict and took the money for the final payment for the house.\u00c2\u00a0 She’s got two children, works part-time in a dollar store and lives in upstate New York state.\u00c2\u00a0 She ends up involved with\u00c2\u00a0 Mohave woman that’s helping run illegal immigrants across the Canadian border.\u00c2\u00a0 They form a partnership that survives an incredible reversal of fortune.<\/p>\n

Leo turns in a very believable, memorable performance as the mother.\u00c2\u00a0 I thought the woman that plays the American Indian, Misty Upham, was also quite good, although somewhat flat.\u00c2\u00a0 I won’t give away the ending – this is one you should check out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
