Too bad the story is not so tightly knot

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2015)

The story as a whole falls far from the category of being a good movie story. The movie has a good opening and character development. The story also has good twists and turns, and also all those predictable and suspicious moments of opportune revenges among colleagues. Yet the story part where it has the movie's own title, the one about the child murders, instead only has a little and less meaningful part to the movie as a whole. It's only used as a bridging part to set Leo's life story in continuance. Also the story doesn't really close or solve all those plot holes left at the movie's end. The acting overall feels nicely suiting to the described time period and location. Although the bad part is that all the cast really over used accentuation on their dialog that they sounded mumbling almost all the time, even including Tom Hardy's performance. But Tom Hardy really grasps his character well and his performance is nicely gripping. Noomi Rapace nicely worked out her role and so did the antagonist in Joel Kinnaman. Gary Oldman nicely completes the angles for the story's continuance.
