Overrated

Rating: 4/10 (1 April 2012)

Based on the Swedish film of the same name which I only watched half an hour of because it was so mind-numbingly boring.
This one was almost as boring, and it drags on for an agonizing three hours.
It doesn't help the film that the two principals don't meet until an hour and a quarter into it. It's like you are watching two movies that kind of crash into each other about halfway through, and the actions of a lot of the characters don't make a lick of sense.
Daniel Craig is actually pretty good in this, not so much the female lead, who is unlikable as a character. The whole mystery plot is kind of dull. And just when you think it's over, nope, we have another 20 minutes of plot to go...
