<\/p>\n

Emma Thompson<\/a> doesn\u2019t kick enough butt. Actually, let me clarify that: Emma Thompson kicks a lot of butt, but it would be nice if she got to do it literally, and more often. Brian Kirk<\/a>\u2019s nail-biting thriller \u201cDead of Winter<\/a>\u201d gives the Oscar-winning star this rare opportunity, and she kicks that butt so hard it explodes.<\/p>\n

But you won\u2019t find any ironic detachment or \u201cJohn Wick<\/a>\u201d fight choreography in \u201cDead of Winter<\/a>.\u201d Instead, Thompson<\/a> plays a kind, quiet Minnesotan named Barb who just wanted to go ice fishing. Instead she stumbles onto a kidnapping plot, perpetrated by [checks IMDb<\/a>] \u201cPurple Lady\u201d and \u201cCamo Jacket,\u201d played by Judy Greer<\/a> and Marc Menchaca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
