Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

filmalamosa A twisting plot beware! took me by delighted surprise. What you think is horror movie turns into gangster film noire.Oddly enough last night I watched Hollow Victory which is a great film noire from 1949---suspend your disbelief and watch it too. I was thinking if only Hollywood would allow one bad guy to win in the end. Nope. You have to get a cynical European to make movies like this.Back to this movie. It succeeded in making my hair stand on end a couple times. Then when you are allowed to figure out what is going on you start guessing. The ending is good.This one makes my list of highly recommended. Intelligent adult entertainment.

samkan Very clever plot, plot twists and no preposterous, unguessable ending but a real one, whether you like what happens or not. There is hardly a wasted moment in this film but what is most remarkable is how believable the characters and circumstances are yet become no less believable when everything is turned on its head. I found myself asking questions throughout that became promptly answered by a new event or circumstance. This curiosity, answer seeking, followed by resolution, rather than being annoying, was very enjoyable. The hard-boiled investigating cop, though a stereotypical character, plot devise, etc., was very good. I hope good, tight, intelligent films like this will always be made.

aharmas It seems we have to get out of the States to see Noir cinema again, to be able to get that corrosive and disturbing feeling that appears to be the essence of a good mystery. In a world populated by individuals with lives that are full of mystery and characters flaws. It is a requirement of good film noir that no one is perfect. This become painfully obvious from the first frames, as we observe how even love might never be anything but flawed, feeble attempts at meeting the right person.The two main characters are introduced in a club where simple dates, relationships might develop. It's because of the director's sure hand, the writer's clever development of the story, and primarily an amazing set of lead performers that don't mind being led in impossible directions as we unravels the mystery.Two souls find love in the unlikeliest of places. They get to know each hesitantly. In a very ironic twist, lives are destroyed, literally and psychologically. This even before the end of the first act, when before mysteries are revealed, there is much to learn and try to understand.What are we witness to? a clueless group of people who might or not be involved some organized group, or is it just someone's hyperactive activity? Or is it just an old-fashioned ghost story? We take the same twisting turns in the movie we are watching. We pick a favorite, and we hope she or he is not involved with the masterminds who orchestra the murder of a policeman.It is challenging, frustrating, and a bit long, it keeps us watching, and we haven't seen this kind of pull in a movie for a long time.
