Fantastic!
As Good As It Gets
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
I didn't read the book nor have I ever heard of it. Therefore, my opinion is based purely on my enjoyment of this film. I liked the actors in it, the story was good and the cinematography is beautiful. I don't understand all the low scores. While it wasn't great, it was definitely worth watching. Fassbender is always great this was no different. I followed the story easily and didn't find it choppy at all. All in all, a good movie.
I'm guessing not an easy watch for those who can't handle flashbacks! It's Scandi noir as a film, it's as simple as that. Admittedly ... what the hell Val Kilmer is in there for ... no idea, and thanks to trivia his dubbed sounding voice now makes sense. There's a curious mix of a wasted Toby Jones and a three hours film edited to two, but overall worthy of a watch.
Just watch the trailer....so much better. Snooze fest. Booo. Was looking forward to a thriller. Goodnight
The only film that begs a second viewing to catch all the nuances and fully interpret the twisted perversion of the perpetrator. And I must compliment Tomas Alfredson for a brilliant film adaptation of Jo Nesbo's work. Although the book's conclusion is twisted in another direction, the finale explains what happens when married women have illicit sex with a lover while their adolescent children wait in the car outside; the victims' children have different fathers from the men they believe to be their father. Even Harry Hole's son, Oleg, is ignorant of who his real father is because his mother Rakel, Harry's ex-girlfriend, believes the boy isn't ready to accept the answer. Enjoy this movie, and look forward to the Son by Jo Nesbo that's about a young man in prison confessing to the crimes of others, but he breaks out to avenge his murdered father. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal.
