A young woman wakes up in a river in France with no memory, a bag with 2 million Euro and a scar across her chest and soon discovers that she is being stalked by mysterious men. Realizing that her accent is Danish she decides to go to Denmark to find out who she is and becomes wrapped into a web of conflicting and complicated stories from her loved ones about her past.
We got a mystery on our hands here! And, this foreign film presents a “who done what?” and a “What the heck is going on?” style plot that does an alright job keep you interested in what is going on. The film opens in a very interesting way and you do want to learn what is going down and the real story, but the movie does seem to drag a little and that does hurt things, especially when you are reading the dialogue. I never have a problem with that if the story stays up to pace.
That all being the case, I wouldn’t call this a movie for everyone. Some things might be lost upon the more common movie watchers out there. That doesn’t count the hardcore movie addicts out there. I think it is the foreign loving hardcore film fans that this one will find its home after all is said and done. That is a good thing I believe. I think the film is interesting enough and has good acting, but it did need a bit of a boost in pace.
