Bons baisers du tueur

I really don't get the hate. Or the CSI references but then again I don't watch CSI.... There are a lot of themes in the movie which made it, to me, intellectually interesting. Big World historic themes if you're a love of art. There is enough drama and 'chiaroscuro' to make the film thoughtful, and enough mystery to make it a thriller. Fully recommend.

This could have been so muchbetter. I didnt think much of Famke's acting she was barely in it. even when she was on the telephone it felt a bit forced. I expected better from morgan, now very well known due to his stint in TWD. Good story and some good acting it just didnt seem to come together very well.

Just so much of it didn't gel. Morgan's acting for one. There are some unbelievably hammy scenes. Did he not learn to summon an authentic sense memory to trigger a convincing cry? 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.

Like a bad episode of CSI. Premise is terrible. Story is all over the place. Completely disjointed. Typical James Patterson. This movie isn't even cheesy fun enough to watch while stuck inside during a pandemic. Trust me...skip it.

This was an intense serial killer film and it died on entry and then kept dying. Bad acting from start to finish. Constantly you can tell they cut scenes. It was so choppy. Then they have loud emotional crying from both main characters, but they never developed the characters enough to believe or care they are hurt. Horrible acting horrible script. This was such a great idea for a movie, but they killed it.

This movie has more holes than a block Swiss cheese. The story has no cohesion. It's as if they filmed a movie and then cut out the parts that connect it. The characters have no depth. It's just terrible.

This film wasn't that bad, but with very little rework, could've been much better. 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.
