Did you know
- TriviaThe scar on Brittany Snow's forehead is real although it is more pronounced in the film. On her scar Brittany stated, "I got my scar when I was 3 years old from falling on a brick. My sister was babysitting me and forgot she was babysitting me and then I fell and tripped and split my head open. I chose not to get plastic surgery on it. I chose to embrace it. Now, I think it adds character. I like it."
- GoofsWhen Al Pacino mentioned the food dye stamp on the pigs head, he stated " The FDA stamps pig heads with a code number in case of disease." The stamp is true, but the FDA works only processed or adulterated food products; not fresh meat products. This is the job of the USDA, United States Department of Agriculture.

Featured review
I watched the Snowman last night and its just as poor as this effort! There doesn't seem to be any thought to constructing an interesting story in thrillers these days leaving the viewer feeling un-thrilled for the most part! Is there really a dearth of intelligent and smart scripts in Hollywood? All of these type of movies seem to be desperately emulating the excellent and original movie "7" and failing on just about every level.
Poor old Al Pacino is past his best if this is anything to judge by and Karl Urban is looking not far behind. The acting was barely passable, the story was pedestrian, un-involving thriller-by- numbers and not very clever although it tried so hard to be...ohh, and the end - well what can we say but the director obviously has delusions of grandeur if he thinks there will be a Hangman 2 - I mean the ending just didn't need to be and it just makes the whole movie look even sillier and ends up being what my old English teacher used to call "Cheating The Viewer"!
If you are looking for a decent thriller you might find it hard this year but try the excellent "WIND RIVER" but just forget this one and wait for it to come on telly as it isn't worth rental.
