Feat. Stellan Skarsgard

Aroview: An edgy, ingeniously plotted psychological thriller about an amoral Swedish detective whose murder investigation in Northern Norway (where the sun never sets) backfires sharply after a botched stakeout.

Covering a trail of deceit that leads to his compromised connection with the killer, this blurs the line between right and wrong and cleverly aligns the concept of guilt with sleeplessness and impaired judgement, physically embodied in the complicated central performance of Stellan Skarsgard.

4 stars (Very Good) Deftly-handled tension and ambiguity. The unravelling of relationships and perspectives is much more well-balanced than Nolan's good but rather bludgeoning remake. ~Tymar3
