The Snowman


Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson and Charlotte Gainsbourg star in The Snowman, a terrifying thriller from director Tomas Alfredson, based on Jo Nesbø’s global bestseller. When an elite crime squad’s lead detective (Fassbender) investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit (Ferguson), the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall.

This was a massively disappointing movie.  If there was ever a movie that should have just been done like a Criminal Minds episode and it would have been awesome - this is the one.  Instead it was massively overdone, sloppily edited and boring as hell.  I wish that they would have put half as much effort into making the movie creepier - especially with how the opening 5 minutes had you in a paralyzed feeling of watching extreme awkwardness that teased that the whole movie would be like that - instead of pushing the country of Norway as some sort of a character kind of.  It was very strange and beyond disappointing.

I wouldn't recommend that anyone bother with this.  Like I said - it could have been soooooooo good but they completely dropped the ball.
