Reviews
“Influences from 'Manhunter', but also from David Fincher's 'Zodiac', are unmistakable, but never add up to a homogeneous handwriting. The actors cannot be blamed for this, they all offer convincing performances. [...] Conclusion: predictable cop thriller with a great cast, but script weaknesses "
