The Frozen Ground is based on a true story so enjoy looking that up if you haven't yet. I really loved it when I first saw it, it's about as tense as a film can get and for once John Cusack plays to his strengths. I never liked him as a leading man, he has turned into an excellent antagonist though. See "Never Grow Old" for more Cusack in high level heel territory.
Cage and Cusack are still big names though, they just aren't blockbuster leading man material anymore.
