Over deze film

From executive producer Martin Scorsese, The Snowman is based on Jo Nesbø's New York Times bestselling thriller series. When an elite crime squad's lead detective (Michael Fassbender) investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit (Rebecca Ferguson), the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall.

Please take note of the other reviews - I wish I had. This film is utterly awful, and it's more of a mystery how Jo Nesbo signed it off. More disjointed than the body parts within, it feels like all the editor cuts from the floor were spliced loosely together in a vague approximation of the story. I've read this book and loved it, but the film is a travesty, the actors should be embarrassed by both their performance in it (don't start me on Val Kilmer's role) and the total editorial hash made of it...Mr Scorsese what were you thinking? Please, heed the advice of me and those before me, save your pennies and time - this dog's dinner is really not worth it, and ruins my memory of a very decent novel. The only redeeming feature in the whole film is the natural scenery. Utter pants.

This is why I hate The Snowman especially if you've read the book: 1. The pacing of the film makes it dull. 2. The film's story is difficult to follow - and I'VE READ THE BOOK 3. It's sad to see such a brilliant ensemble ruined Yes I understand that films are different from books. However, this a bad film whether or not you've read the book. However, when you've read the book and see how fantastic it is, it hurts even more.

A thoroughly dull and lacklustre ride. The Snowman is a lesson in how to ruin a fantastic premise. The pacing is off, the tension is so forced you’re bored after 35 minutes and the script is so unbelievably poor that it would be more at home in a second rate school play than a big screen picture.
