...after having read all of the Joe Nesbo books, this one is perhaps the darkest and edgiest.
Harry Hole is a pretty complicated character but Fassbinder does a good job of bringing him alive.
And it's nice to see all of the Norwegian buildings and snowy landscape described in the book that I could only imagine.
The problem is that the film is structured a lot like the book which jumps from place to place but without all of the narrative detail of the book.
If I hadn't read the book first, I would have had a difficult time following the film and understanding who all the people are.
I enjoyed the film but I'd give it a C+.
