What False Trail sets out to do, it does remarkably well -- with particular praise reserved for two dominant performances from Rolf Lassgård and the ever-watchable Peter Stormare. Go to Full Review

[I]f you're weary of [Peter] Stormare's one-dimensional Hollywood villains... here's a chance to see him in his natural environment and much more truly disturbing than he usually is permitted to be. Go to Full Review

Wintry in setting and tone but reasonably absorbing. Go to Full Review

3/5
Plot twists abound, but they don't detract from the strong character work done by the leads, with Coen brothers regular Stormare on especially unhinged form. Go to Full Review

Daniel L 09/03/2020 This movie takes place as the WORST movie I've seen in my ENTIRE LIFE. It's got nothing but an incredibly dull plot point to stand on it's predecessor, and it makes nothing out of it. It's as if Sundvall and Lassgård had nothing better to do and decided to team up again, despite not having a good story to do so with. The ONLY person who gives a chilling performance is Stormare. Nope, safe yourself the time and watch something else. See more 11/02/2017 Too predictable, dissatisfying thriller with Peter Stormare doing his usual hooded eye bad guy routine. See more Andrew G 10/07/2017 A thriller which manages to create suspense on a few occasions, but is full of clichés and badly lacking in subtelty. Peter Stormare is unhinged to the point of (unintended) abdurdity. See more 05/22/2017 One of the best crime thriller movies i've ever seen ! See more 11/16/2015 Good old-fashioned detective story in an atmospheric settings, it's a fairly intense investigation and never dull, despite the fact the culprit is revealed very early. See more Niels S 11/21/2014 Næsten lige så god som 1'eren, men også kun næsten. Under alle omstændigheder uendelig meget bedre end de fleste amerikanske krimier skåret over samme læst.
