Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and people who like their stories with a little danger. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 55 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A serial killer preying on unfaithful wives sets his eyes on an investigator's wife. The culprit is a debonair director, whose compulsion to prey on married women stems from a deep psychological trauma.
