Although there's a sliver of plot, FIRE AND ICE is largely comprised of action-packed ski footage, staged in numerous and often imaginative ways. John (John Eaves) is a French-Canadian skier who is determined to catch up with Suzy (Suzy Chaffee), a fellow skier whom he meets by accident and falls in love with immediately. FIRE AND ICE comes off like a second unit director's fantasy film, completely forgoing story for filler material. Canadian Eaves is skiing's freestyle world champion, while Suzy Chaffee was a member of the US Olympic ski team. Unfortunately, their collective acting ability doesn't exactly set the screen on fire. The thin story is held together by narrator John Denver, whose down-home earnestness grows a little tiresome after the first 10 minutes. leave a comment
