Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 09/27/2012
Any charm evaporates amid the rampant amorality. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 09/27/2012
2.5/4
Thomson is more successful at visual composition than narrative momentum; would-be sequences of black comedy are too stretched out to benefit from timing. Go to Full Review
Calum Marsh Slant Magazine 09/16/2012
1.5/4
A tonal hodgepodge ever at odds with itself, Tomasz Thomson's unctuous, tongue-in-cheek debut is far too self-satisfied with its jokes for any to really be funny. Go to Full Review
Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International 09/14/2012
Fun, often droll crime thriller about a grungy slob of a hit man given an assignment in the remote, snowy Carpathian Mountains provides a nifty ride for both more demanding audiences and the usual suspects looking for raunchiness. Go to Full Review

11/17/2014 Plenty of dark, not much comedy. See more 03/21/2014 This movie was so good. It's like a Coen Brothers film.... See more 03/29/2013 OK flick (and a mediocre word play) that's not too easy to classify. It's not very funny, it's not very thrilling and it's not dramatic either. It's like a dark comedy, and it works out all right. There are many turns here, and some are good others are bad. You never know what you are gonna get here, that's for sure. Nice music, cool characters and an atmospheric that works out. Cool and cold camera shootin. It's like "Fargo" meets "A Somewhat Gentle Man" - just with a poorer result. Snowman's Land is not bad, but it could have been so much better with a few grips. 7 out of 10 public toilet assasins. See more 03/03/2013 This had great laughs. Quality. Too farcical for high praise. #thesquare from Australia was better foreign #asimpleplan type movie. This would be a great re-make for the US market. See this. See more jesse o 02/01/2013 This is a competently made film with some good moments, visually, and some funny scenes. The problems come in with the narrative. The narrative is absolutely nonexistent. The movie just throws out this character that is fed up with being a hitman and seeks a change of profession and scenery. That's it, this is set up in the beginning of the film. The rest of it is absolutely nothing. There's no real motivation to keep watching since the movie is going nowhere at all. Like any film, it has its moments and it's not bad at all, it's simply dull due to its non-story. That's all I have to say, if there had been an effort to make the story interesting it could've been considerably better. Still an average film and some people will enjoy it more than I did. See more 11/25/2012 I loved this movie, the opposite personalities of the hitmen go well together and even though it moves slow you never get bored. I highly recommend this because most likely it will disappear in a year or so and might be forgotten...a hidden gem! See more Read all reviews
