While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It is an interesting commentary on the subject of crime and the treatment of victims. I hope many take the time to see this film.

Directed by Scott WalkerStarring: Nicholas Cage, John Cussack and Vanessa HudgensOverall: This movie is very poor and is definitely not worth your time. Please skip this one.Good:1. John Cusack is pretty good as Robert Hansen.2. Vanessa Hudgens does a good job as Cindy Paulson.3. The story was interesting and the events it was based on needed a movie to tell it. Unfortunately, I believe it needed a better movie to tell it.4. I really liked the music.5. The tribute at the end was very moving.Bad:1. Nicholas Cage was awful as Jack Halcombe.2. Poor cinematography all around.3. Some dialogue was difficult to decipher.4/10

This movie is not worth the time. I really wanted to enjoy it, I used to be a fan of Nicholas Cage and I was actually excited to give it a shot. But within 10 to 15 minutes the story line fell flat.The worst part of this entire movie is the person(s) involved that decided to use a shaky-cam. This cinematography for this film is not just laughable, it is nauseating and dizzying. It actually seems like there is a monkey jumping around on top of the camera(s) while it was being filmed. And at high points of tension in the film, the shaking even gets worse, it really is un-watchable simply because of that.If you are able to look past the vibrating camera-work and actually watch this film it just doesn't grab you. From what I understand this is based on a true story. Yet it just doesn't do justice to the victims or the officers that worked the case. The one redeeming person in the film, is actually Cusack. He comes across as believable, if you can catch a glimpse of him through that vibration. It is unfortunate because this story could have been told in a much better way.

Now, I can't really claim to be much of a fan of Nicolas Cage, especially since his movies have an overwhelming tendency to be overly generic and come a dime a dozen. However, it was because of the synopsis and because of John Cusack that I decided to purchase this movie with the intend to watch it.And now having had the chance to sit down and watch it, I must say that I am actually genuinely surprised with the outcome of the movie. Not so much on John Cusack's deliverance, but because Nicolas Cage was actually fair in this movie, and he proved his worth opposite John Cusack. But to be blunt, then it was John Cusack who carried the movie and stood out in "The Frozen Ground".The story, which is based on real events, takes place in Alaska, where young women fall target and victim to a heinous abductor and serial killer.Nicolas Cage did a good enough job with his role as an officer of the law. But especially John Cusack was shining in this movie, in the role of the serial killer. There was just something deviant and cruel about his performance and portrayal of the Robert Hansen character. Vanessa Hudgens also did a good job with her acting and really did bring something to the movie."The Frozen Ground" turned out to be an enjoyable movie which, albeit following a straight forward script, did offer some good moments. And the characters in the movie seemed to be well-detailed and equally well brought to life on the screen by the acting talents.I am rating "The Frozen Ground" a solid six out of ten stars, and it is a movie that is well worth watching if you need some fair entertainment for a single viewing. The movie, however, doesn't really sustain more than a single viewing; you watch it once, then bag and tag it.
