Henry Northmore The List Dark and brooding, there's an intriguing mystery buried amongst the clichs and plot holes. Rated: 3/5 Aug 26, 2014 Full Review Anton Bitel Grolsch Film Works It is not long before the recurrent motifs of sedative drugs, deep slumbers, comas and hypnosis have all come to highlight the film's soporific pace, making the viewer just feel sleepier and sleepier. Sep 2, 2013 Full Review Shaun Munro What Culture An inoffensive enough Nordic thriller that nevertheless completely blows its interesting premise. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 28, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Ben lontano dai fasti del giallo da cui è tratto; comunque grazie ad una trama piena ed assolutamente avvincente. I personaggi sono poco interessanti e i due protagonisti maschili non riescono ad attirare l'attenzione e a creare empatia. Tutto fila liscio senza infamia ma senza lode. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member overall an accurate representation of the novel. The characters are how I imagined them to be portrayed on screen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Liam D While it's not the best Nordic noir or from Oscar Nominee Lasse Hallström (Lumière and Company, ABBA: The Movie) it's a decent enough Thriller with great acting and some suspense Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/21 Full Review Audience Member one of the worst swedish movies i have seen. melodramatic no chemistry with the actors . biggest waste of 122 minutes Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A well acted film, which is slow in parts. My predictions for where the film was leading was probably a better storyline, although a dramatic beginning and ending make this worth a watch Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the less good Scandinavian movies...the story is pretty poor and seems too constructed and the acting is wooden Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
