Review

The continental directional style sets this film apart among its Norwegian contemporaries. Director Pål Bang-Hansen is constantly on the move; he has a sense of urgency and ambition about him. But although the story has potential as a murder mystery, the characters are not drawn out well enough for us to care about them. And in addition to the often stilted dialogue between them, this contribute to keeping them distant and theoretical. When your protagonist is a prick, the least you should do is to make him interesting. Egil Monn-Iversen both produced and provided an abrasive, unatmospheric score which does little to improve the impression.
