Review of Varg

Varg (2008)
3/10
Name says it all...

Warning: Spoilers
In my language wolf has other meanings besides the animal also. In technical speech and especially when talking about manufacture processes we have a "slang-word" for faulty components or pieces; called wolfs (varg). And that is exactly what this movie is also!

When I heard about this movie I thought that this really might be really good and entertaining so I skipped founding out more about it before watching. And with Peter Stormare as one of the main characters verified my high expectations of this film. When I visualized the movie in front of me I got flashbacks from another master piece Swedish movie called "Jägarna", which takes place in quite the same environment as "Varg".

In the beginning the story sets of rather nicely and plot is clear. Amazing scenery and beautiful views as well as excitement. But after the primary act when the wolf gets out of the way, the plot only goes from bad to worse. The behaviour of the characters is many times unnatural. The whole procedure when Klemens (Stormare) gets taken in custody is just a big question mark. Towards the ending the story is just "basic drama" with anxiety and uncomfortable dialogues. The ending it self confirms the fiasco. It leaves so many questions and so few culminations for the viewer that the first though about the whole film is 'oh my god..'

Short conclusion: Amateurish and half-completed. Sad but true.
