SNOWBALL is a really interesting little movie, a British drama all about repercussions and how seemingly simple and innocuous events can spiral out of control and cause ultimate damage. Similar than to prior fare like THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT and CHAIN OF EVENTS, but with enough intrigue to work by itself. Dennis Waterman plays the pivotal role of a lying kid in his film debut and he's ably supported by a good quality cast, from rugged Gordon Jackson to the intensely sympathetic Kenneth Griffith. A simple story, well told, and one that continues to impact today in the likes of the Mads Mikkelsen starrer THE HUNT.
