Very Good Plot, Script, Cast BUT MEDIOCRE Photography + Directing.

I really liked the plot of this one. Right from the beginning where Beatrice told him about the plan for revenge. As the plot progresses it becomes even more interesting ans stays until the very end.

BUT I do have some reservations about the whole atmosphere of the movie.
IMO is presented more "dark" than it should be. Yes, there are some dark themes in it, but I think the movie would be far more efficient with a different approach from the Director and the Cinematographer. IMO in the hands of a more capable (or at least with a different vision) director the movie would be better.

The performances are ok, and the cast is very good.
I gave it an 8/10 to boost the average a little.
Overall recommended.

European style of a nordic noir tone. Very simple plot which is character driven. It could of been deeper. Film District could made money if they hadnt put all their promotion in to Olympus is falling.

I couldn't agree with you more about the darkly-lit photography of the film.
