I expected more

Rating: 7/10 (13 September 2010)

I have no idea what people are raving about this film. It's a mediocre film and the only reason it has received such a hype, are the books behind the film.
The cinematography is highly effected by the lack of budget. The strength of the film lies on the hands of Naomi Rapace. She does a female lead role, I have not seen in a while.
Thus the film receives 4 stars from me, but Naomis role extends it to a seven.
Pretty early who are going to guess who was the murderer, although some elements of the resolution were surprising.
Mu biggest problem was that the film had a lot of loose threads that must have been left from the books.
A remake, with a bigger budget might have a chance to be a remarkable film.
