The Frozen Ground


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

Another very dark police procedural. But despite an impressive cast this film was merely a series of events rather than a good dramatic retelling of true events with characters we cared about. Consequently the film never really took off for me. The repetitive droning score became annoying after a time and the films self importance seemed a little pretentious, especially with the inclusion of photos of the real victims during the end credits.

It's an okay first effort for new writer director Scott Walker, technically it seems fine. There's just no heart to it.
