The Frozen Ground: review and trailer
NICOLAS Cage gives a strong performance as an anguished and determined cop determined to catch a serial killer in The Frozen Ground, a well crafted old-school thriller based on the true story of Alaska nut job Robert Hansen (a chilling John Cusack) who murdered at least 17 women in the early Eighties.
Cage is State Trooper Jack Halcombe who identifies the culprit with the aid of a prostitute near-victim (Vanessa Hudgens) but struggles to find sufficient evidence to convict.
It doesn’t break new ground but is tense, atmospheric and creepy.
