Congelado

While this Low-Budget Movie Suffers from Multiple Problems it isn't a Complete Waste and is Worth a Watch as a Time Waster. These Types of Films, those set in Virtually One Location are Obvious from the Start Announcing Not Much Money and the Project can't Help but be Cursed with that most Basic of Restrictive Residue, Movies are Supposed to Move.

While it can be Novel the Premise Tends to be Boring and Redundant. It is Noticed here that Basically the Same Thing happens Over and Over again. The Wisecracking Protagonist does His best to keep Things Lively with Sarcastic Quips, even the best of them Wear Thin and get Irritating over the course of a Full Length Film and are better left to the Stand-Ups.

Not the Worst Production Culled from Limited Resources, this One Remains Mediocre and Rather Flat after all is Said and not much is Done.

This was Dylan McDermott's finest performance. He was funny, witty, intense, charismatic all at the same time. I watched this movie 5 times. He's one of the best dramatic artist of his time.

"This is the rat. I'd bet my life on it." Robert (McDermott) wakes up in a freezer with his wrists and ankles cuffed together and no idea why. When a gang of Russians come in they tell him he owes them 8 million dollars and won't let him go until they are repaid. When he realizes he isn't alone he is forced to make life and death decisions with every move he makes. This is a movie that although the idea has been done over and over still had potential. What it turned out to be was basically a version of the original Saw (without the gruesome chopping people up aspect). Man wakes up alone with no idea how he got there and must figure out who put him there and why. He sees someone else with him and must decide what to do next. The main difference is that this one has people coming in and out and more things happen but that is still the best way to describe it. The twist is both unexpected and predictable, when you watch it you will see what I mean. Overall, nothing amazing but not horrible either. A less horrific Saw type movie. I give it a C+.

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.

This movie is not that bad. It is slow but it is worth the watch. If you want to watch a movie that seems to go nowhere until the last scenes then this is one you might enjoy. I enjoyed it because it ended with a good ending. Dylan McDermott was a convincing victim and you could not have known how he was going to resolve his plight. Yuliya Snigir gave a good performance. If you watch the movie to the half way point, then you might as well go the whole route. For those who enjoy a movie with a surprise, you will enjoy this. Stay with it all the way because you will leave it with a smile. There is nothing better than to see a movie end right.
