Film Review – The Frozen Ground

“The Frozen Ground” is exploitation disguised as a funeral. The
production claims the material is based on a true story concerning evil
acts committed by serial killer Robert Hansen throughout the 1970s, but
how much authenticity there is to the picture remains questionable, with
writer/director Scott Walker inching away from creating a tight
procedural to slurp up the salacious events of the story. Capable work
from stars Nicolas Cage and John Cusack are enough to keep tension
somewhat in play, while a supporting turn from Vanessa Hudgens reveals
previously unexplored depth. Despite positive attention from the cast,
“The Frozen Ground” is familiar, semi-eventful, and hampered by a weird
fixation on the ugly details.
