The Execution...all comes together in a twisted puzzle that, while at times can feel a bit overlong, is a stark image of how devastating the effects of human depravity can be for individuals and communities alike.

The non-linear narrative can be difficult to follow at times but it allows director Lado Kvataniya to build up a picture of the investigation with the benefit of hindsight.

"The Execution is a welcome addition to the detective genre. From the production design, to the score, to the cinematography. You can see the care in every detail that was taken to bring to life the dark and cold word of The Execution."

One of the rare serial-killer movies that surpasses its genre. Both the acting and the directing are superb. I always reserve the fifth star for the iconic movies only, but if you compare all the rest, this movie would be 5/5.

The interesting acting and cinematography give way under the weight of an over-convoluted, clumsy plot.
