Captivating and fast pace story on the arrest of a serial killer by a soon to quit detective with the help of a runaway teenager. Super shots of the Anchorage area landscape.

The movie is well done but the actual story is horrific...serial killer in Alaska.
The movie also diverts widely from the real story so don't expect this to be historical.
I marked the movie lower because the producers intentionally…

By no means an amazing movie, but I watch anything Cage does because he does so many different sorts of movies and they're either junk or gold. This one is a better one, and it also stars Cusack who is of comparable calibre as an actor.…

Wow, what a great movie. Hard to believe it actually happened. I had friends that lived in Anchorage during the years this all happened and they had no idea this horrible person was raping and killing young ladies. What a sic SOB he…

John Cusack does a good job playing a creep. Vanessa Hudgens gives a solid performance although I got tired of her bawling all the time. Nicolas Cage does not do "sympathetic" very well despite the furrow in his brow. Nevertheless, a…

I lived in Anchorage at the time this movie was set in. It is scary to think that there was such a evil predator out there. I don't think Nicolas Cage was the right person to cast as the detective, he isn't a believable Alaskan. It was a…
I used to live in Alaska, Alaska is one big small town, and everyone knows or knows of everybody. After seeing this, I asked my best friend from Alaska and yep, one of her friend's parents were neighbors with this Butcher Baker. As a…

This is the true story of a serial rapist and killer who kidnapped young girls, raped and tortured them for days, sometimes weeks, then flew them to the remote Alaskan wilderness where he hunted them like elk. He got away with it for more…

Wow was not able to finish this movie due to falling asleep! The second attempt only gets me to the middle of the story where John cusack was looking for Cindy at the stripe joint. Oh boy and Nick Cage must be on prozac; he was rather too…

Some of the minor supporting actors are credible, but they can't save this effort. Cage is simply wooden and the runaway working girl is straight from central casting. I didn't see any point in going on after the first half hour.
John Cusack totally disappears into his role. His performance is incredibly subtle and believable. Nicolas Cage is also terrific in this surprisingly engaging film that does a good job balancing generic paint-by-numbers crime solving…

A horrifying true story of a serial killer who has been in the public's eye, unnoticed for years before a living victim escaped to ID him. John Cusack does a stellar performance. Halcombe killed 17 and raped 30 more before his arrest.…

This story deserves far better attention than this wannabe horror flick with sleazy night club imagery. Cage's expressionless face and robotic lines delivery didn't help.
There were times in the movie that Robert looked liked he was either reading a teleprompter or choosing his words so as not to make a mistake.
Nicolas Cage pulled it off but had a drone like affect on his character, enough to put you to…

Disc scratched so bad was unable to watch last 30 minutes.A real cliff hanger.Tried to clean with disc cleaner, to no avail. Will have to order again to see climax. Very interesting true story with lots of drama. Too much whispering in…
