of my favorite scenes was when Cindy saw an Alaska moose. Please pay attention to that moment. It was so so beautiful and poetic. John Cusack's performance was outstanding! He convinced me he really was that killer! Also, I have some new respect for Vanessa Hudgens. Thought she got popular by luck. But no, I really felt how much effort she would make for a movie and she put her heart into it. Glad to see Dean Norris too! He started acting career back to the 60s, but just got very popular and well known these years. Breaking Bad I cannot imagine how much up- and-downs during this journey. He is a great actor. I am happy for his success! All in all, I always feel that story is the soul of a movie, its the most important factor. I loved the story of serial killer Robert Hansen! I am so glad Scott wrote this movie and put it on the big screen!

will treasure life much more, you will become much mature and much responsible. You will love life much more.

both these actors and takes what might have been a mediocre film with different actors, to a whole new level.The chemistry between Halcombe and the only living victim of Hansen, Cindy Paulson, played brilliantly by Vanessa Hudgens, is amazing. It's clear that Halcombe wants to protect her but she makes the task difficult, along with the increasingly menacing presence of Hansen once he realises she is working with the police. I would definitely recommend this movie which is understated in its ability to entertain, scare and engage the viewer.

sub-zero chill. The story itself needs little Hollywood embellishment as it is a purely evil as any in mankind's sordid history of psychopathic killers. The fact Walker preserves that pure evil without the usual Hollywood treatment puts it on a level with Copote's In Cold Blood.This is, arguably, Nicolas Cage's best performance in years portraying a state trooper on the verge of changing jobs who as if by some otherworldly pull picks up this case at great personal expense to both himself and his family. Cage is a ball of stress knowing he is, due to an obstinate district attorney, the sole person who can stop the carnage. His depiction of Jack Halcombe could hardly be more humanly moving. Perhaps the thing that keeps that stress building is the top-notch performance of John Cussack as killer Robert Hansen. Cussak is able to nail the two sided family/businessman psychopath killer as a juggernaut of evil operating in full view as he not only chooses his victims, but actually relishes in stalking them down on various remote spots before, finally, murdering them. Representing the human side of the continuing carnage director Walker has cast Vanessa Hudgens as sole survivor Cindy Paulson. Hudgens is truly a revelation in the role of a victim who is helpless in her situation. She's a drug abusing prostitute at 17 and Ms. Hudgens is more than believable as she brings this poor girl's plight to life. This film is not easy to watch as it pulls few punches as it unfolds. The Frozen Ground is without doubt an excellent crime thriller with a very sad, yet satisfying ending. Highly recommended.

movies being made based on murder true stories, this one in my point of view is in top of that kind of movies. This is a must see!

such risky project. It was his assignment to portray a monster, and that he did. I'm reminded of Robin Williams performance in Insomnia.

the theater, 'cause it was real thrilling. The spellbinding Alaskan nature is a real must see here, it simply leaves speechless with its sheer vastness and beauty. Great job of cameramen, though. The story is clear from the trailers and here the whole plot untwists slowly for almost 2 hours, but this is quite good, as the movie never drags. Constant Alaskan snow adds up to the growing suspense. The film is not the masterpiece but worth watching and very strong as a message. Great ending, by all means

the film are hard-working people who want to catch this killer, but know they have to work within the law to ensure he doesn't escape them in the courts. Vanessa Hudgins turns in a very nice performance as one victim who escaped and was instrumental in identifying the killer. The director does a fine job of capturing the ghostly silences of the frozen north, where so many of the man's victims were buried. All in all, a fine, atmospheric film that is both thrilling and sad. Well worth your time.

scenes as they were mostly well shot, but the inside shots were framed too tight, but that was the style the cinematographer decided on , so it's a matter of opinion or budget.Overall I liked the movie and would rate this as above average. Well done Nick.
