Over-rated

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2005)

The DVD case calls this a "darkly amusing thriller." I take issue with both amusing and thriller. It was not amusing, and there were no thrills. Apparently a true story (or was that a lie too???), which may explain countless unexplained plot lines. Characters appear, do something, then disappear again without a hint of explanation. There was absolutely no tension at all, and you don't particularly care about any of the characters apart from maybe the pregnant "coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator." Although her investigation skills weren't particularly impressive either.
And what was with the germanesque "ya" ing. Surely Americans don't actually speak like that.
