This "thriller" was a huge disappointment. Photography is great, the actors are fine, the slow editing is pleasent - but the script is so poor, it feels like a rough first draft which was never finished.
The characters are 100 % flat and their (verbal) interaction strangely liveless, clumsy and short. The whole setting starts to look surreal as only about 5 men gather at the same spot to do more or less nothing, except the occasional sex. The murderer is the only interesting character, as you begin to wonder about his motives and state of mind. The police inspector seems more like a creepy old man or sex researcher hanging around and prying into peoples private lifes just out of curiousity. But just like everybody else, you cannot take him serious nor does he look and act remotely like somebody would do in real life in such a situation.
As the whole thing gets mildly suspenseful, the movie suddenly ends. Like, heck, they just ran out of ideas for a somewhat satisfying conclusion for this autistic mini drama. And an explanation for Michels behaviour.
Sadly, the joke is on the audience. I really loathe filmmakers who show such a glaring ignorance and contempt for their viewers. Avoid by all means.
