This film is inspired by a
true story. It’s 1993 and an
elusive serial killer has been on the loose in Anchorage Alaska for over
thirteen years. Sgt. Jack Halcombe
is transferring to another job and moving away. He gets involved in this case during his last two weeks on
duty. Cindy Paulson claims she
escaped from the killer when he tried to fly her out into the wilderness in his
small plane. Cindy wants to help
the police capture the killer but she wants to get on with her life too. Robert
Hansen is the suspected killer and he has been arrested before but he’s been
able to go free or serve minimal time. Cindy doesn’t know how dangerous it is becoming for
her with Bob trying to track her down.
Not much new here but
the background scenery in the winter adds an element plus the addition of truth
behind the story. I wonder how it
was decided who would play the detective and who would play the killer between
Cage and Cusack? 3* (This movie is
OK)
