As its based on true events, the movie takes no time to establish itself. It hits the point right from its activation and makes you know about each of their lives and characters. Perhaps, the whole thing was predictable but it uncovers the violent truth that was happened back in the day and also about the investigation details.
Nicolas Cage was splendid in the movie, apart from whole lot of things happening around him nowadays, it was enjoyable watching him in a good and a responsible role. Vanessa Hudgens surprised me for a bit with her bold character as she sparkled with her fearsome performance. John Cussack was decent, I don’t think he had to carry the whole movie along, but he stood up as the supporting character who is the focal point of the movie.
Covered with whole lot of snow throughout the movie, the cinematographer did an amazing job by capturing things with few incredible chopper shots and by maintaining the gloomy vibe all over. That shows the sensitivity of the director who tried something different and in picking up a genuine plot. On the whole, The Frozen Ground neither tackles particularly compelling themes nor offers an exhilarating plot. It meekly reveals one of the most terrifying incidents happened back in 80’s with a good sense of drama. Watch it once if you’re fascinated about true events.
