Solid cat and mouse thriller.

You immediately know who the badguy is so the tension is in the search for clues to finally get him.

Cage plays his part calmly and not hysterically for a change.

There is quite a bit of female (half) naked to be seen for a film dedicated to a number of women who went missing in the Alaska area of Anchorage in the early 1980s. Police managed to find the bodies of some of those missing women and in 1983 Robert Hansen, a seemingly harmless man, confessed to murdering a number of those women.

This reconstruction of the unmasking of this serial killer (here convincingly played by John Cusack) begins when Cindy Paulson [Vanessa Hudgens, also fine], a young prostitute, reports to the police after she manages to escape from the hands of her assailant. She points to Hansen as the guilty party, but given her own questionable background and the impeccable reputation of the alleged perpetrator, the police seriously question her testimony. However, Agent Jack Halcombe [Nicholas Cage] digs into the case and examines all the files, checking every trace in the hope of finding evidence against Robert Hansen. Cage's rendition is - as is often the case - a bit out of control and with the nervous camera work and the many images of strip clubs, this feels more like an exploitation film than a tribute. Therefore, this otherwise reasonable thriller has an unpleasant aftertaste.

The Frozen Ground is a true story that is quite solid as a film. No surprises, but sharp and exciting at times. What struck me most is that two actors who also excel in many B-movies show here that they certainly have something to offer. Decent movie.
