Summary
At times confusing as it switches moods, but well worth staying withFull review
Haunted by his unresolved cases the star detective gets sucked in to a relationship with a suspect that ultimately will bring no closure.
Complete with comedy sidekick and apparaently inspired a Sjowall and Walhoo book we get a bit of police procedural but it is becoming obsession as the Martin Beck figure falls for the mysterious chinese woman.
Very stylishly shot with a creative use of mobile phones embedded into the storyline, and drawing on many different elements of detective, noir, romantic, mystery genres this is clearly an excellent film even when you are not quite sure what is going on.
