Before I get into what I had problems with concerning the movie "The Frozen Ground", let me say I did not hate or actively dislike the movie. For one thing, I wasn't bored while watching it. The level of acting by all the participants is pretty good, and the movie has very good production values despite going straight to DVD. However, to a significant degree I found the movie unsatisfying. For one thing, the movie doesn't really explore that well the character of serial killer Robert Hansen. I had no idea what was motivating him or going on in his head at any time. I think the movie would have been better if it had the focus been on him and Nicolas Cage's policeman character in a kind of supporting role. Another issue I had with the movie was with the character of Cindy Paulson, the young woman who managed to escape from Hansen. To me, her character quite often seemed to be padding, since she didn't seem to be advancing the movie all that much. Also, near the end of the movie, when her character gets in danger again, her contrived predicament had me saying, "Oh, come on!" out loud.
Despite these flaws, I will say again I did not hate the movie. Somewhat disappointed with it, yes, but my feelings towards it were not terribly hostile.
