When an old lady is brutally murdered, suspicion falls on the escaped mental patient Erkki Jorma. Only his therapist Sara Rask believes that he is innocent, and works with investigator Karsten Skov to track down Erkki. Erkki, however, has in the meanwhile been taken hostage by bank robber Morgan, whose plan for a perfect getaway is sabotaged when his hostage refuses to leave. (Paradox)

I can’t say if I minded more that the movie comes across as totally old school or the unremarkable actors. I just couldn’t get into the investigation even though it was quite brutal as it should be for Scandinavia. The result deserves no more than 3 stars rating.

The atmosphere of the Norwegian forests, hard-to-believe coincidences on a treadmill and one innovative approach to the treatment of mental disorders. The Norwegians know how to make these gloomy genre films. It's a pity about the ending, it would have been much more impactful with hints instead of a clear revelation.
