Review of Smilla's Sense of Snow

Smilla's Sense of Snow is a revenge tale of sorts, that stars Julia Ormond playing the female version of Dirty Harry. At one point, she is so fed up with her father's wife, she grabs the girl by the neck with one hand, and by the crotch with the other, and says, "leave me alone!" This is one tough babe, who is sexy as hell. She wants to know what happened to her 'friend' (a homely child who lives next door to her, and was killed). Where her investigation takes her is something you would see in a James Bond film.

Nice acting by everyone -- especially Ormond. The film is just so out there, and it wears thin quickly, and goes nowhere slowly. Worth seeing for Ormond's tough girl character though.
