Synopsis
This made-for-TV cop drama was the second in a series of films inspired by the best-selling "87th Precinct" novels, written by Ed McBain under the nom de plume of Evan Hunter. The major American metropolis of Isola (it's actually Toronto, as indicated by several familiar landmarks) is in the grip of its coldest and iciest winter in recent memory -- and the men of the 87th precinct are themselves gripped by the determination to solve a baffling murder. The victim was a popular dancer, found dead on a snowy street near the theater where she worked. The subsequent investigation unearths an elaborate showbiz-themed scam, a cache of stolen diamonds found on another corpse, and a drug pusher who is killed by having ice injected in his veins. Unfortunately, the killer (or killers) manages to elude the cops at every turn -- and it's getting colder, snowier, and icier outside with every passing day. Ed McBain's 87th Precinct: Ice originally aired over NBC on February 18, 1996. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Dale Midkiff (Elvis and Me) and Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos) star in this made-for-television movie based on the work of author Ed McBain. There's a serial killer on the loose terrorizing the city, and detectives Carella (Midkiff) and Meyer (Pantoliano) are assigned to stop him before he kills again. As they investigate the crimes, they soon discover they're somehow tied to organized crime. Ed McBain's 87th Precinct: Ice also stars Michael Gross. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
