Features Nosferatu, symphony and strave (1922)
Chronology
Two girls disappear. The police recruit Paul Chartier, who joins a secret unit tracking a sex offender. After the operation falters, Chartier hunts the perpetrators independently, frustrated by legal restrictions. I know it should be called "if you can" … and I think that would have worked too … but I decided to go that way …
still no pun intended
The film is based on a true story – and I have no idea what happened in the 90s … and as I understand it, this requires a lot of creative license … who did what to whom … who survived and who did not … and I assume that the main character (policeman/gendarmerie) is an amalgamation of many characters into one – I could be wrong of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. The film may be long (2.5 hours), but it never feels like it.
with the main character
Well, maybe during the wedding stuff at the beginning … been there, done that and know it. The Greeks celebrate similar – like the Italians … is this necessary for the story? I would argue that I don’t… but maybe I’m missing something The suspenseful part is really well done …
many things go wrong
he has the right eye, he has. the right "nose" … but can he convince the others of it? Many departments work almost against each other … this is well told and acted … still I lack the x-factor to make this go over the top …
more suspense throughout
as much praise as it has received … and as good as it is … the final push is missing … maybe a little more charisma … and so on.
