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 pursues 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 of course be wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case. , the film may be long (2.5 hours), but it never feels like it.
I would argue that not
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? but maybe I’m missing something. The suspense part is really well done …
many things go wrong
you feel for the main character … he has the right eye, he has the right "nose" … but can he convince the others of it? Many departments almost work 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.
