Hmmm... I wonder who's dogging all the reviews for this film? I just noticed before writing this that it seems like every review (all 6 of them at this time) have been almost comprehensively down-voted. Positive and negative ones. Odd...
Anyway... I just finished the movie, and I felt that it was very well put together. The pacing overall is rather slow considering it's almost 2 hour runtime, but if you follow everything and pay attention, it leads to a very powerful ending that you most likely will not expect... It is more of a Crime/Investigative Procedural rather than many of the more stylish Action films that come from there. The emphasis is more about the Slow-Burn Mystery than about flashy visuals. The acting across the board is quite strong. The atmosphere and cinematography, like the style of many of this type of film from the area, are nicely constructed and very effective. I particularly like the final montage during the last few lines.
Remember... Not everything is necessarily as it seems...
