the screenplay is not good as it should be, then if the screenplay is bad, the director, even he is a genius, won't salvage it to become a better film. but the worst part that made this film become so horrible is the disastrous miscast, except the leading actor, stellan skarsgard, who played nils role, other than him, most of the supporting roles could be the living example of how a miscast and bad casting job would ruin a film. among them, the worst cast and actor is pal sverre hagen, who played the Norway drug-lord mobster, what a clown actor with no talent at all. the other bad news is the screenplay writer, he obviously not quite knows how to portray the bad guys because he made them look like a bunch of impotent, stupid, jerk-like clowns; but none of them is worse than the actor who played fin. the only thing that looks good is the cinematography, the snow, the snow ploughing, the coldness, the vastness and bitterness of the long winter scenes are all sharply done through the camera lens. the screenplay also further damaged by a lousy English subtitles.
