Pretty Good
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
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.
First Canadian film, not bad. Great for a similar movie that you'd see on ordinary television. Rented at red box and was worth the dollar. No real climax, but throughout the movie a good flow of entertainment. Good spin at the end, worth 91 min. The movie starts and finishes in a freezer so the name actually ties in well ( I have seen titles that don't) throughout the movie I encourage to watch for the good guys and bad ones for an easy game to stay active. The characters that play Russian actually speak Russian so subtitles definitely came in handy. There were only 4 main people in the movie so fairly easy to follow characters and associated attributes.
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.
In this confusing mess of a movie, Dylan McDermott stars as Robert Saunders (why he's even in this film is the first good question to ask). At the beginning of the film Robert finds his hands and feet bound, and that he's locked into a meat freezer, where the average survival time is 3-4 hours before hypothermia kicks in.He's soon visited by two Russian mobsters, and we slowly learn that $8 million of the Russian mob's money is missing, and they think Robert knows where it is. What's amazing is that no matter how perilous and dire Robert's situation gets, he's always able to come up with a Cagney or Bogart-like wise-crack, like you'd see in a 1940's B-movie. Since this is kept up the entire film, it can quite annoying after a while.Various characters will enter and depart from the freezer, including an undercover NYPD Narcotics Detective (Peter Facinelli), who's clinging to life under a box of meat. Also, another NYPD Detective (David McNally) who manages to get a call through to Robert but mysteriously doesn't seem in any hurry to help him.Of course, we must have a beautiful Russian woman come onto the scene, as that would be Alisa (Yuliya Snigir) who apparently was the "mule" that brought the $8 million up from Miami and is also the girlfriend of the son of the Russian mob boss Oleg.As the story continues, the various twists and surprises get more and more ridiculous and convoluted. I would suggest that you don't try and figure them out or your brain cells may freeze-up from "Freezer".
