La fille dans le brouillard

This Hollywood style Italian movie is not bad if you can look past some of the over the top acting.

Excellent story, acting, directing, and cinematography. It's not a flash-dash film, but is perfectly timed. Well above average on every level.

This was a beautifully crafted movie which kept me engaged all the way to the end.

However, about that end ... there were way too many twists and too many questions left unanswered. And the very last twist came from left field with nothing to substantiate it.

I was left asking too many questions.

If you want to get wrapped up in a movie and enjoy the ride, this is a good one for that. However, the ultimate destination is confusing and unsatisfying.

In the small mountain town of Avechot a teenage girl has disappeared, presumed kidnapped. Inspector Vogel, a famous police detective, is called in. A suspect is identified. The clues all point to him but Vogel doesn't have any evidence. However, Vogel is not above using the media to progress the legal process.

Great crime drama. Very intriguing and unpredictable from start to finish. Many twists and turns: just when you think you have it all worked out, the plot goes in a different direction. The time-jump and multiple perspectives plot development plus a wonderfully dark and foreboding atmosphere help the intrigue and general feel of the movie.

Some great themes too, especially media intrusiveness, how it interferes with the justice process and how it destroys people's lives. There's also a great greyness to the characters: nobody is clearly 'good' or 'bad', adding to the intrigue and unpredictability.

Nothing is revealed until the very end, though here is where the movie loses some of its lustre. Writer-director Donato Carrisi tries to throw in too many twists and possible outcomes, making the ending a bit confusing and not as perfect as it could have been.

Still a great movie though.

great movie great book the story is slightly misleading but still great this is not the Hollywood typical action movie but a movie with characters development and quality acting.The directors tells the story in a completely different manner then Hollywood movies and was more of a European style movie.Jean reno did a great job in a different role.The plot developed really well and made it more of a thinking movie then a action movie.The turns in the plot kept the film from becoming boring and the acting felt real and authentic.There are some flaws in the cinematic elements and there were some flaws in some of the plot twists but it,s still a great movie.Jean reno is a great actor
