Top-notch Icelandic crime drama from the 101 Reykjavik people - a taut and effective tale of a modern murder investigation that reveals links to current research into the transmission of hereditary illnesses and a long-forgotten blackmail.

Icelandic murder-mystery is somewhat small in scale but still nonetheless very enjoyable. Not being an expert on the state of the entertainment industry in Iceland, I couldn't say if this is typical of the country's output but I'm willing to bet it m... (read more)

Odd choice of film for a date, but I can only blame myself. Worth seeing, but don't go on a full stomach as what the Icelandic people eat is more grisly than the murder scenes.
