2. Summary

   Good 3.0

   The battle of the C’s: Its Nicholas Cage vs. John Cusak in this tale based on an Alaskan true story about an attempt to take down serial rapist-killer. Cage goes after the bad guy Cusak with gusto in this somewhat haphazardly put together script. Cusak makes a great psychopath, but the connections are so obvious, you’ll find yourself puzzled as to why they weren’t’ able to put him away – right away. Of course, that would have made for a pretty short movie – so on came the inexplicably complicated pursuit. In the end, the movie was entertaining – but the C’s could have done better with picking who to work with.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   Cage and Cusak live up to expectations and Vanessa Hudgens does a very good job as the street girl victim. Who knew Anchorage streets were so rough?
