Based On A True Story, Looks Good

I like the vibe of 'The Frozen Ground'. Based on the killings by Robert Hansen who, many feel, kidnapped women, released them in the Alaskan forest, and hunted them with a rifle.

Nicolas Cage is the detective with John Cusack as Hansen. Yes, it's got the makings of a standard police procedural but it doesn't play that way. Both Cage and Cusack are engaged. Perhaps their performances are fueled by the fact this is a true story but, whatever the reason, 'The Frozen Ground' doesn't come off by-the-numbers.

I'm feeling it. I'll see this.

'The Frozen Ground' Seems Solid Enough

Yes, Nicolas Cage does make a lot of flicks and some aren't that substantial, but this one looks good to me. Partly because it's based on a true story about serial killer Robert Hansen, partly because John Cusack is selective of his projects and scripts, and partly because the trailer just has that vibe.

Looking forward.

Opens July in the UK, August here. Probably won't do much at the box office but looks like a cool evening in.
