Nicolas Cage is fun. His movies aren’t the worst, there are many of them, they have interesting ideas, but they often lack something that I would remember in a month and that would make me say that the movie was worth making. They are all average tearjerkers with good ideas, classic Nicolas, but average filmmaking. The Frozen Ground could have been a great, atmospheric thriller. I recently saw Prisoners which was exactly like that. For two and a half hours, the suspense was flawless. But with this movie, it was missing here for an hour and a half. The only really interesting scene came at the end of the movie, when I found out that everything was based on real-life events. That’s why I’m giving it three stars in the end.
