The Frozen Ground Ratings & Reviews
DigitalDisappointment
March 18, 2025
Dean Norris and John Cusack were excellent in this movie, and Vanessa Hudgens was so believable in her role that the whole thing was just heartbreaking and agonizing to watch.
InSession Film
JD Duran
Nicholas Cage and John Cusack are at their best in quite sometime here.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
Only Patrick Murguia's on-location photography of the Alaskan wilderness holds any notable merit.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Nerve-wracking, nail biting and blood curdling, The Frozen Ground will send chills down your spine while warming your heart.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
"The Frozen Ground" trucks in cliche, as most serial killer and police procedural films do, but the strength of the acting (from the leads down to people with only one or two lines) helps ground the film.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Impressive debut from New Zealand-born Scott Walker is told with style and panache. Strong performances, fevered pacing and immersive location lensing are big pluses pushing this from "B" pic to A-.
Movieline
Pete Hammond
We've seen a lot of serial killer movies but this intriguing true story is well-acted and involving enough to be worth a shot.
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
A true crime period piece that somewhat interestingly eschews a lot of investigatory grind in favor of moral certitude and throwback, cat-and-mouse tension.
Paste Magazine
Annlee Ellingson
Unfortunately, with a confusing script pocked with plot holes, The Frozen Ground misses an opportunity to create a lasting testament to their memories.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
Not bad at all. Nicolas Cage gives his best performance in years.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A taut procedural with atmospheric location work that traces Cage's clock-racing efforts to find evidence against Cusack ...
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The movie's only fresh element is the wintry setting, which shrouds everything in a mood of weary fatalism. Otherwise, it's the same old, same old, efficiently discharged and utterly disposable.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Unfocused, flitting back and forth from separate Cage, Cusack, and Hudgens arcs without forming them into one vision.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
The movie's late-night cable feel and skeevy salaciousness grinds everything to a snowy slush.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Although writer-director Scott Walker seems committed to not overly exploiting his lurid subject matter, the movie is just too dreary, disjointed and generically creepy to be persuasive.
Observer
Matthew Kassel
A vague and forgettable crime thriller that would have benefited from more character development or at least a grounding of the narrative in one central protagonist.
Village Voice
Rob Staeger
The Frozen Ground hits the familiar notes.
We Got This Covered
Simon Brookfield
Featuring great work from Nicolas Cage, John Cusack and most surprisingly Vanessa Hudgens, The Frozen Ground is an old school thriller with plenty to offer.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Taste and good intentions are only going to get one so far with a script this tone deaf and direction this ugly and monotonous.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Hangs a tad slackly between thriller and procedural, but still holds attention throughout.
