It starts with a splendid scene in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and then goes downhill from there and unfortunately it takes two hours to get to the end. It had Argento elements (strong visuals, unusual narrative direction) and his daughter Asia playing the main role but I found some of it....well boring which I've never said before about watching a Dario Argento movie. It is in effect two films, one about a serial killer then another one about a serial killer. Thomas Kretschmann did his best as one killer who is revealed early on in the film but I found him a trifle laughable. The last twist in the plot brought a ho- hum from me. It was patently obvious what it would be.
The best parts are the music score by the legendary Ennio Morricone and the cinematography by the equally legendary Giuseppe Rotunno. And also the great paintings that were shown. I would have been happy just looking at them.
