I really did like this movie. The reason for it is because Timothy Hutton(Shephard) acted so good in this movie that it makes you just want to watch it. In my opinion He is one of the best actors of century and when there is a movie that comes out where he is playing it just forces me to see it. Like the character that he played in this movie. He was a scientist who wanted to help the Iceman. It showed how much he actually cared and wanted happiness for the Iceman. See this movie, you'll like it.
