Avis à la une
The main issue was the amateur screenplay put together by the novel's author, Liza Marklund, and newb writer Andrew Stern. Had a seasoned screenwriter proofread and edited the script, this film would've been impressive.
The 104 min runtime dragged on with terribly slow pacing. This film should've had the pacing sped up and/or the writing cut down to about 85-90 mins max.
Directing by Danis Tanovic was adequate, except for the annoying fade-ins to out-of-focus dizzying shots. The cinematography was decent however, and the score quite fitting. Casting and performances were on point, particularly from Morgan.
This film isn't much of a who-done-it, as we find out underwhelmingly half way through, but more of an international chase, of which also ended as underwhelming, with a silly final scene.
Still, not as bad as the critics say it is. I still enjoyed it, and it's a generous 7/10 from me.
This was such a great idea for a movie, but they killed it.
As a whole, the movie also could have been more cinematic. The scale seems small for being set in half-a-dozen countries. And that doesn't so the adaptation justice.
A lot of this comes across as a decent episode of a procedural show. That is the overall feel. The execution could have been so much better since the source material and story appear to have some interesting elements.

- AnecdotesConnie Nielsen was the first choice for the role of Valerie Kanon and actually shot part of her scenes, but due to problems of conflict with another set she had to give up finishing the film, she was replaced in the course of work by Famke Janssen.
- GaffesThe address shown on the envelope in Belgium includes the postal code 78605 for Brussels. Belgian postcodes have only 4 digits, not 5, and the codes for the 19 Brussels municipalities are all situated between 1000 and 1210. The "Rue de Lessines" exists, but it is situated in Molenbeek, postal code 1080.
