Cold enough, but the protagonist lacks charm.

Those who like Thriller so much have to say that this is really not a masterpiece, but I will watch it anyway. After all, the trailer conveys a strong sense of mystery, but the script is not well written, especially the first half, which is very difficult to hook. Arouse the interest of the audience. Ordinary thrillers, if the audience's interest in the opening 15 minutes has not risen, it has already failed. The actor itself is also a failure. We all like Sherlock Holmes to a large extent not because of those cases, but because this character is very attractive and has strong personal characteristics. But the hero of this film is a very boring and lacking charm. Even if he played the role of Fa Shark, the screenwriter turned into an expressionless "snowman" for

more than half an hour. The story still jumped between various lines and characters, in order to let everyone be confused. No one can tell who is the murderer. But these fragmented contents are edited in a mess, and it is difficult for the audience to enter the state. The actor was even more decadent when he appeared on the stage. About half of the movie, he was still in a state of waking up. It wasn't until the female agent starred by Rebecca Ferguson assisted him to investigate many clues that the rhythm of the story came out, and the male protagonist seemed to gradually wake up. If this is a literary and artistic film, but it is not. It is a commercial thriller, and there are many famous movie stars. This rhythm obviously does not create the exciting effect of ordinary thrillers. What kind of effect is strong enough? Gone Girl is a model in thriller.

If The Snow Man was the beginning of the Norwegian detective series played by Fa Shark, it really did not make people interested in this role, because he was in a state of confusion from beginning to end until the last ten minutes. And the bad guys weren't subdued by him personally. Finding the murderer was also the main contribution made by the female detective. So in the end, we didn't feel where the god is, the

other is this movie. Although the ending reveals the culprit and motive, How he managed to keep track of Rebecca's role, and know the whereabouts and plans of the agents, did not explain. I don’t know if the screenwriter thinks it’s unnecessary or the director thinks it’s okay not to shoot. There are too many characters and things in the film. It is indeed easy for the audience to forget these details, but after watching it carefully, there are still many questions.

The snow scenes and the Norwegian winter scenes in the film are still beautifully shot, and you can see that the investment is not small, and it is not the kind of small-cost thriller that can be achieved. Individual bloody shots are disgusting.

In the end, I can only say that although it is not perfect, if you like crime suspense films like me, you will definitely watch it. The social meaning behind the film is indeed very important. The murderer's motives are worth pondering. If the detective Fa Sha wants to continue acting, he must find a better screenwriter to portray this role more sharply and capable.
