Let me start by saying I'm am a huge nic cage fan,always have been.Ill be the first to say hes made some bad movies that would have been unwatchable if he wasn't in them. Now this movie is not exceptional and is nowhere near cages best role,but it is his moss subtle.He plays his character well and so does Cusack.Hudgens who I've never really seen much off plays her part in this movie quite well. Nothing new here just a good old fashion good guy bad guy collect evidence movie. I recommend this movie to fans of cage and especially to fans of Cusack who plays a great villain. 7 outta you know what.Give it ago has a great ending imho.

The premise offers quite a lot, two well known actors in a battle of wits - acting out a real life serial killer case. Problem is is that the serial killer is in custody for a good part of the ending and the cop does not square off with him to release the tension. There is barely any tension and absolutely no payoff, only the female lead crying her eyes out for most of the movie. She is always crying, always swearing and it's just distracting. I get it - you're a *, I understand that from the very beginning - yet we get more and more of how much she is a * - all the * things she goes through. Her main line is: What the F? All movie long. It's never a good idea to put your good guy and bad guy in the same room half way through the story. Again, no payoff. But this is a true story, so I'm sure that is what they had to do. Maybe it shouldn't have been made. Played out like an R rated CSI show. Was looking forward to seeing Cusak in this. I'm still hearing the girl cry and curse as I type. Unnecessary to say the least.

A friend put me on to this movie; I hadn't actually heard about it. So I watched it without knowing the plot. I've always liked both Nicholas Cage and John Cusack and neither was really playing to type. But Vanessa Hudgens blew me away with her performance of Cindi Paulson. She totally stole the show and deserves to be on the awards list this year. Her portrayal of a young dancer/prostitute was very mature; I'm sure she dug deep to find the breadth of emotions from laid back and chilled to entirely terrified. I can thoroughly recommend it to people who like murder mysteries. And for a first time major film Director, Scott did an awesome job! Terrific build up, mature direction, and very solid editing.

On the eve of leaving the Anchorage Plice Department, Detective Jack Halcombe finds himself involved in investigating the kidnap and rape of young prostitute Cindy Paulson who has narrowly escaped from serial kidnapper, rapist and murderer Bob Hansen. Hansen, a successful businessman, is well connected and has escaped serious investigation for years despite being clearly in the frame. This is a relatively straightforward police procedural suspense thriller based on true events, with Nicolas Cage (cop) and John Cusack (killer) both cast in the roles one would normally expect to have been filled by the other. Cage is OK, Cusack is rather good. Vanessa Hudgens as teenage hooker Cindy is better than both of them: the girl can act. She can also swear a lot, but I already knew that from Spring Breakers. The sense of time and place is well evoked, and the film holds your attention for its full 105 minutes. The end credits start with a sobering and worthy runthrough of Hansen's real-life victims, and it is pleasing to note that Cindy escaped the life she had been leading. This is a decent film if, perhaps, not one which will stay in the memory for a long time.

'Frozen Ground' undeniably has promising storyline because of it's based on true story factor. It makes audience (who doesn't know the tragedy) curious of what happens next although from the start we already know who's the killer. Scott Parker as director has succeeded to pack this low-budget movie into something's still enjoyable to watch. Also some familiar actors seems helpful to lift this movie. Cage and Cusack act convincingly as a cop and a calm mental disorder killer. Unfortunately, 'Frozen Ground' feels repeatable from other serial killer movie that could bored fans of this kind of genre. Overall, 'Frozen Ground' is a satisfying movie and above average of crime thriller. The recognizable cast somehow increases tense in this movie. I think it's too good for DVD's direct though.

Sounded like a great movie, had great actors, but I couldn't tell you. I've never turned off a film faster. Between the cameraman and the editor, I'm guessing a lot of speed must have been consumed. I honestly couldn't see half of what was going on. A shaky-cam shot once in a while is fine, but constant bad shots combined with ultra-short edits, and you and up with distraction rather than a story. For a few minutes I closed my eyes and listened, and the story really did sound like a strong script... but I was hoping to enjoy the visual aspect as well. Absolutely could not - terrible visual sequences. Unfortunate... I will look for this director in future to avoid.
