What keeps this movie from being a cold chill flop is it's ability to keep the level of suspense and mystery at full speed from start to finish. No I didn't believe Robert could last as long as he did in the freezer. And no I didn't believe Detective Sam could live in the cold with those wounds ... etc. etc. But what kept my attention was the constant twist and turns Robert pulled in psychological tricks on the Russian mob members. And the suspense in guessing what his next move would be in his quest to save himself. The story is worth it just for that reason. I did get a bit confused at the finish because you never actually see what was in the box Alisa gives Robert. You decide.

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.

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.

The initial premise is good. Man wakes up trapped in Meat locker, not sure how he gets there and said plot unfolds. The film itself try to follow the mold of the genre, but quickly collapses with plot holes, meandering dialogue and poor continuity. The arrival of the 3 Russians really signals the end of the film for me. The crazy one with the gun, the beauty with the tragic accent, the bodyguard with the acting skills of a hamster and the lead himself, bantering inanely trying to save his life. The conclusion is predicable, the acting in general stilted and unless you get this movie free, then just re-watch several of the other films available in this genre, then you won't feel you've lost 90 Min's of your life.

"May contain spoilers?" I watched this movie just to see how bad it was going to be from a technical stance. The answer is, it could almost not have been worse. I am not going to bore you with why, I listed some credentials instead below. I mean I don't think they talked to anyone who even has a basic knowledge of electricity, let alone a refrigeration technician. Nikola Telsa was rotfl during filming I'm sure. Credentials: I have an associates degree in HVACR, a certificate in commercial refrigeration, a certificate in air conditioning, a universal EPA license, a dual endorsed Texas state ACR contractors license, a whole lot of continuing education, and 13 years working on nothing but commercial HVACR in mainly restaurants.
