This is not Two Strangers On A Train. Or is it? Maybe.
To me, Gemma Chan can do no wrong. And she was a great bad guy in this film. Her partner is Carla Juri - new to me. Juri was okay. She irritated the crap out of me when she played her younger self. As a college student she played it very in a very childish way. It was irritating.
This is the second film based on the Intrigo book by Nordic writer Håkan Nesser. IMHO - he does not write very likable characters. Out of two movies, there's been 2- Henny's brother and the waitress at the Intrigo bar. Håkan Nesser is a pet lover. Once again, cool critters are in the forefront.
I liked this film despite all the unlikable characters. (Loved the doge!) I am a Nordic noir fan, so that might have something to do with it.
It is pure entertainment.
