The Frozen Ground (R) 7.0

The Frozen Ground (2013) An Alaska State Trooper partners with a young woman who escaped the clutches of serial killer Robert Hansen to bring the murderer to justice. Based on actual events. (6.4)

Director: Scott Walker
Writer: Scott Walker
Stars: Nicolas Cage, Vanessa Hudgens, John Cusack

The story of Robert Hansen had been used in various other films and TV series, so this isn't an original idea. However, the three actors mentioned above give excellent renditions of their respective characters. The most captivating is that by Hudgens. Nicholas Cage, as usual, gets into his character and blends in with the story. What it lacks in originality of the story, this movie makes up for with the telling of the tale. Powerful and realistic depictions sans the gory scenes. My Rating: 7.0
