Wallander: Innan frosten (2005)
Episode 1, Season 1
disjointed with thin characterizations
28 November 2017 - 0 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Krister Henriksson as Kurt Wallander may grow into his part but he shows no sign of doing so in this, his first "episode'.
He barely has a handful of lines, the film lacks any mystery or suspense and we see none of the existential angst which is the hallmark of the Henning Mankell character.
Instead we get a very routine procedural, dull visuals in a film more about Wallander's daughter in her first job.
The Kenneth Branagh version of this story is more complex and emotionally impactful than this very thin telling.
