Absent One, The (18)

Crime, Mystery, Thriller

The murder of young twins initially implicates a group of upper class students as the killers, though the case takes a turn or two from its starting point.

The critical consensus

Finding a certain majesty in the murk, The Absent One is unashamedly derivative but remains a class act regardless.

An awful number of cliches are being ticked off here (the Fincher-esque lighting, the dogged and socially inept cop), but it’s a diverting potboiler for crime drama completists.
