Nicolas Cage is a detective who locks onto the scent of a possible serial killer in Alaska. John Cusack - spoiler alert - is that serial killer. Vanessa Hudgens is the prostitute victim who got away and brings the whole thing to light. Cage, Cusack & Hudgens are all fine in their roles but the movies ends up being nothing special. There's not a lot of tension or drama. Instead it kind of just lurches forward from one example of Hudgens' character running away from safety to some other dangerous situation for no apparent reason. Speaking of Hudgens, it's pretty obvious she took this role to show how grown up she is. Look, she's a hooker who smokes, does drugs, and says the f-word a lot! This is all based on the real story of serial killer Robert Hansen. In the end, it's pretty good but never rises up. 6/10.
