hyped garbage
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
There is a major twist in this movie which is never actually revealed other than being obvious to anyone with half a brain.He's not in a walk in freezer, he's in a walk in fridge.The clues. 1. He says its 37 degrees F or something like that, which is about the temperature of a fridge. A freezer would be around 0F or -18C.2. He hits some hanging meat which was surprisingly bouncy in texture, therefore not frozen, I guess it could have just gone in but no, this is another clue that its not a freezer.3. The breath thing that everyone is pointing out (which should probably still happen at fridge temperatures).4. There are some jars of some kind of liquid, like sauces, they are still liquid, yeah OK, could be alcohol but then what are they doing in a fridge/freezer? 5. There are some boxes with a penguin on them which has a cross through it, and they say something like contents not to be frozen (duh!) 6. There are quite a few items in there which shouldn't even be in a fridge, such as tins of tomatoes, but in a freezer that's just crazy.7. There are some more boxes which state to be stored at 33-37 degrees F, this is a fridge temperature, not a freezer.There is one point where he takes an icicle to get water for the cop. This is the only icicle in the place and certainly wouldn't have formed at those temperatures.The movie was pretty bad but to be honest I was entertained as my mind was totally preoccupied with the "spot things that prove its not a freezer" game.Personally I'm looking forward to the sequel "Bakers Oven", where Dylan is trapped in a Sauna full of raw bread dough for an hour and a half.
A man wakes up in a freezer after he was celebrating his birthday in a restaurant and while he was at the restroom some Russian mobsters have kidnapped him and put him in a freezer and threats that they will leave him there and freeze to death if he doesn't tell them where he has hided an important amount of cash. Just like other movies that the action takes place in one location for almost the entire duration and here we remind of Buried or Brake this one has a few moments when it can be boring in fact at some point it gets very frustrating watching that gangsters entering and exiting through the door. Also they are so amateur leaving a man who believe he stoled so much money untied with a lot of sharp object near him like meat hooks or a cutter. The story complicated without purpose when it could be so much simple although many will not expect at some twists. It's just an ordinary kidnapped hostage money recovery type of movie but with an ending far more stupid. But still deserves a watch.
I put this in the category of phone booth and man on a ledge, both of which much better than Freezer, it would of been more suited to a TV show rather than a full movie! Didn't keep me hooked and it really was all in a freezer. It might suit a Sunday afternoon when bored and nothing on TV or you can't be bothered to watch yet another repeat of something you've already watched on netflix. The acting wasn't bad and some smiles was raised, but I can't see it making no Oscar trail. Even the music was non existent, but then I guess it on needed incidental music. All in all I wouldn't recommend it, even tho it was recommended to me. The movie left me cold.
I chuckled at another IMDb reviewers title because it is sort of true. They referred to this film as a "lukewarm" freezer. Freezer has some potential certainly, and it is entertaining at times, twisted and well acted. I am personally constantly impressed when a film maker can make a movie even remotely interesting set entirely in one location. This film is set in the now tried and true genre of Buried, Brake, Saw (to a lesser extent) and Phone Booth. One locale, minimal cast, twists and turns and plenty of thrills. Freezer is fortunate to have a decent sized star at the front of the cast who turns in a very good performance. He is definitely the one to watch in this. Still the story is decent, if not just a little more complex than it needs to be and perhaps tries a little too hard. One of the best things about this type of genre is the "big reveal" at the end. Most times it is the opportunity to truly shock the audience like Buried or Saw truly did in my opinion. The big reveal at the end of Freezer is average at best and just feels really anti-climatic. It isn't that I saw it coming, its just that it felt forced and like they ran out of ideas so its a bit of a let down.I very much enjoy Dylan McDermott. I think he's a versatile intense actor who has great charisma on screen. I think he saves this film from being completely mediocre. McDermott shows an intensity and really does put everything into the performance. His tough exterior and wise cracks and dark humour works extremely well in this situation and he is definitely the highlight of the film. Yuliya Snigir is average in her role as the mysterious woman overseeing McDermott's torture. Snigir is often campy in her display of emotions and she overacts many of the scenes. There is very little chemistry between her and McDermott and she doesn't impress much in the role. The supporting cast are all decent though predictable. Andrey Ivchenko and Pascal Petardi fit their roles well as Russian meat-head mobsters who look angry and yell. Peter Facinelli is also decent in an unfortunately small role as a Detective in a similar situation as McDermott.The film is good, the story is good, the performances are good but it definitely doesn't go beyond just good. It tries very hard but unfortunately that came come across as more desperation to be entertaining than creative. Director Mikael Salomon has had one major theatrical credit essentially and since then has been an avid director in Television ever since. There is nothing wrong with that, he's been involved in some strong Television credits but Freezer feels like it wants to be a TV episode rather than a full film. Its just a tad cumbersome and meanders through some of the details and even uses the same violent shock scene twice which doesn't bode well for a movie that is all in one locale. When all is said and done Freezer will entertain you but I understand those that found it disappointing. However, McDermott fans can be rest assured he does a great job. 7/10
