I saw this film at the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival. They managed to get this as a 'surprise' film. Afterwards i wondered how much money BVH gave them to show this. Or maybe it was a free present. The movie starts alright, a bit Hollywood-ish but not that bad. However, after the sequence where the main person dies it starts to go downhill... Way too predictable, way too sentimental, Justin Chatwin who played a good role in The Chumscrubber fails horrible as Nick, the main character. At first i didn't even realize it was him. He was so not convincible. Callum Keith Rennie, who plays a detective, is also an incredible bad cast.
So whats the best part of the film? I really can't remember, but the most exciting part was the end sequence. Not the scene itself, but the public who started laughing and swearing all over the place. Probably because it kept dragging on while everyone knew what was going to happen.
I haven't seen the original Swedish version, but maybe i should one day. Avoid this at all cost. I wouldn't even recommend to rent this. Yes it is really that bad. Standard Hollywood concept to the bone without any surprises.
