Frozen Ground

It was Vue Apollo, dovetail, unless you were at the premiere at Vue West End, which was also last night.

When it did not start at the correct time, and 10 minutes later, we were told by Vue that there would be a slight delay because they were waiting for the film to be ejected or something (it was probably because they were waiting for Cage and Vanessa to rush over from Leicester Square!) Then 5 minutes later the distributor came to introduce the film, and apologised for the delay and, whilst doing so, Cage and Vanessa gave a surprise appearance! That was so unexpected, so I struggled to get my camera out but I did manage one good shot!

Quite intense thriller and sad, since it is a true story. Cusack is creepy, Hudgens is ace, Crazy Cage is toned down. Enjoyed. 7/10

Lovely to say hi to tilly and funthing (sorry for the confusion, I thought you were on your own )

Oops, thanks PXC, was Vue Picadilly formerly Apollo, getting my Vue's mixed up. Great photo, btw.

Solid three star effort. It started off OK and then fizzled out a bit by the end. It is hardly the type of film one can call enjoyable, but neither was it nerve wracking or psychologically disturbing. Just OK overall. 6/10.

Was at the premiere last night, and while it was nice to see Cage and Hudgens the film was a bit crap. Seems a bit tasteless to make a glossy commercially minded film out of some very real murders and then try to paint it as some kind of memorial to the victims.

That line-up of photos at the end to crappy soft rock was both embarrassing and offensive!

Here's my review:

I liked the coulour palette, but that's about it. Thought the director could have spend more time on the investigation and less in the strip club!
Looked to me like everything got resolved in a couple of days without a sweat and found it quite hard to believe to be fair, but eh, they said "based on actual events"

6/10

Edit: just read LondonCityNights' review, and could not agree more with his very articulate point of view.

I really enjoyed this film. Even although you knew the serial killer from early on I thought Jon Cusack played the role very well bringing intrigue and suspense to Robert Hansen. Scary to think that this was based on real events.
Like others, found Nicholas Cage a little hard to understand at times but again an interesting role he played well.
Overall a captivating and interesting account.
