The Frozen Ground
Based on a True Story
The cast are:
Nicolas Cage – Jack Halcombe
Vanessa Hudgens – Cindy Paulson
50 Cent – Pimp Clate Johnson
The film opens in an Anchorage motel room in 1983, where 17-year-old Cindy Paulson (Vanessa Hudgens) is handcuffed and screaming for help. She is rescued by an Anchorage Police Department patrol officer. He takes Cindy to the hospital, and her clothes are kept for a rape kit. At an APD station, she explains to detectives that she was abducted and repeatedly raped. Because she is a prostitute and lying about her age, the detectives disbelieve her story, refusing to even look into the man that she named as her abductor, Robert Hansen (John Cusack). They claim Hansen is an upstanding member of society who owns his own restaurant and that there are too many conflicting details in Cindy's story to investigate him.
The APD patrol officer who rescued Cindy is outraged that the detectives refuse to pursue Hansen. He surreptitiously photocopies information about the case and sends it to the Alaska State Police. Meanwhile, state trooper Jack Halcombe (Nicolas Cage) has been called to investigate a female body that was found in the bush. It had been half eaten by bears. The police connect the case to other missing girls, who have disappeared after going to what they thought were legitimate photo shoots. With the secret information from the APD officer, Halcombe connects to Cindy and starts to put together a portrait of Hansen. Cindy details how Hansen kept her captive, and that she escaped from his car when he tried to transfer her to his bush plane.
Verdict: Really instance film
