A case of a missed opportunity. It references all the right films, but The Snowman comes off as a pale imitation.
A film that feels as butchered as its serial killer’s victims. Ludicrous, but fascinatingly so.
Surprisingly inept chiller from Tomas Alfredson, based on Jo Nesbø's bestseller.
The Snowman is perfectly decent entertainment but it is also generic in the extreme, with nothing beyond those coffee beans to offer that we haven’t tasted before.
The bestseller about a maverick cop on the trail of a serial killer reaches the big screen in a gruesome but watchable adaptation from Tomas Alfredson.
An efficient atmospheric potboiler but it lacks the impact of the book.
Michael Fassbender stars in a disappointing Jo Nesbø adaptation that’s short on subtlety and suspense.
