Cheesy as a Swiss cheese...

Director Matti Kassila's final crime drama of 1994.

Seen almost 30 years later, it serves as a cavalcade of some of the top Finnish actors of that day, but falls way flat of Kassila's renowned Inspector Palmu movies.

The underhand political back story, however up to date with its embezzlement and money laundering theme it may have seemed back in the day, remains only as a footnote in the story.

The investigative methods of inspector Nummensyrjä are all too simple, he would never solve anything more complex than a smash and grab playing with open cards like he does.

A long way from the creative and intricate deduction by Inspector Palmu.

Plot is full of holes like a Swiss cheese.

Sorry to say, but the movie's FIM 9-million budget should have brought forward a little more.

The camera work is decent, though. A 5/10 for the colorful summer story.

Trivia
Matti Kassila had already decided to retire from film-making and started to write a detective novel, when producer Matti Ollila read the first draft of the book and suggested Kassila to make a film out of it. Kassila claimed to be too old to make movies, but Ollila managed to persuade Kassila to return to the director's seat.

Goofs
Jouppi's motorcycle is seen near the murder scene and the police say it is said to match his Harley-Davidson.

Jouppi's bike is obviously a Yamaha Virago.
