Aye G @AyeGeeYT Jul 2 The Frozen Ground is a perfectly watchable crime thriller, but it never becomes much more than a generic entry in the genre. The true story and solid cast kept me engaged throughout, with Nicolas Cage and John Cusack turning in respectable performances, but the film never builds the suspense or emotional impact it needed. It feels surprisingly safe and by-the-numbers for such a disturbing case. It's worth a watch if you're a fan of true crime, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it had the potential to be much better. Also, I definitely wasn't expecting to see 50 Cent pop up.

It really keeps you focused on what is happening and the cast does a great job. People want to knock it for not having enough action or character development, but it is based on a true story. You can add a lot things that didn’t happen and keep it close to what happened. I guess people wanted there to be more action like car chances or explosions, you know, the things that really bad movies need to entertain people. The ending when Cage’s character antagonizes Cusack’s charter into admitting he is the killer is great, some of the best work by both actors. Add in the amazing scenes from the Alaska wilderness and how the movie was shot with a cold, overcast feeling and you simply have a great movie. I honestly think that most people like to hate on this movie since both Cage and Cusack have had some real stinkers in their careers, almost to the point that they have become a cliche (especially when it comes to Cage’s movies). Since this movie, Cage has done probably his best work ever. I think this movie is what actually turned his career around.

The photos of the real life victims at the end are very powerful. See more Mario V @RT68698079 04/28/2025 Lots of action, violence. Good plot & acting See more Read all reviews
