So yeah the movie is actually pretty engaging and its backed with an amazing backdrop and a solid performance from Nikolaj . However this movie is far from being unforgettable as it is let down by a cliched climax. The last 15-20 mins of the movie makes its feel like its just an another serial killer movie .. The movie lacked originality that at some point it had to resort to the way a serial killer movie would usually go. People who are fond of this genre could enjoy watching this movie without any expectation once ..

I find it pretty intense, suspenseful and engaging. I think Rayburn is captivating because of his past, and his unique role in the search for the killer. I enjoyed watching it.

A bland and uninspiring script that relies on tired tropes over creativity. Disjointed and poorly execute.

I gotta admit, this was a solid film. A watchable serial killer film with a couple of nonsensical scenes but overall consistent to the end. I do enjoy that the killer was not revealed unto the very end, and that's a good sign of someone putting in the time of writing a somewhat coherent story. For me it was a one time kept my attention the whole time watch but not to be watched ever again film.

Good acting all around, good pacing, good setting, okay story. It's good enough to get a 7. I add another star for Coster-Waldau. He's a broken alcoholic a-hole, but he's carried the character with just enough to make me like him. And that's a big plus considering so many writers and directors these days don't know the importance of a likeable main protagonist. I left so many new series after a few episodes exactly because of that. Some movies suffer the same problem as well. This one doesn't.

Although the last twenty minutes of the movie is somewhat too predictable, overall this is a decent crime thriller. I would have preferred we be given more background details, especially concerning what happened before the beginning scenes of the movie. But there's a very good cast here, and there's enough mystery and suspense to keep the viewer's interest.
