Nicholas Cage and John Cusack are totally wasted in this true story based disaster. It's not the story or the acting that is the problem. It is the directing, editing and pathetic photography that turn what might have been acceptable entertainment into a disaster of epic proportions. The hand held camera shaking like a bowl of Jello, along with everything, and I mean everything in extreme close up mode, is both nauseating and headache inducing. "The Frozen Ground" is without question one of the worst directed, edited, and photographed films I have ever seen. It is indeed 105 minutes of punishment, unless your idea of entertainment is shaky faces in extreme close up, followed by whiplash moves that blur images. Ugh. ............ MERK
