Frankly, there's no real reason that the main characters should team up in the first place, other than the fact that he has no driver's license and she does.
And there seems to be no end to silly coincidences and drawn-out scenes of a character simply getting from one place to another. Digital visual effects depicting gory scenes look flat and unfinished. Flashbacks to a character played by Val Kilmer are astoundingly bad Kilmer wears strange makeup, and his voice is clearly dubbed - poorly - by another actor.
And it starts well enough, using Oslo's snowy atmosphere to interesting effect.īut the characters and their almost-random behavior begin to undo things quickly. Filmmaker Tomas Alfredson previously gave the world Let the Right One In and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - both exceptional film adaptations of novels - so there was no reason up-front to worry that The Snowman could be any less. A secondary character also drinks too much.īased on a novel by Jo Nesbø, this crime thriller has a promising director and a strong cast, but it's a total mess, with baffling flashbacks, excessive padding, and an overall poor execution. Language is sporadic but includes uses of "f-k" and "s-t." The main character ( Michael Fassbender) is said to drink too much (he wakes with a vodka bottle in his hand) and smokes cigarettes. There's flirting and mild-to-strong sexual situations. A woman deliberately drives into a frozen lake and lets herself sink, a killer uses a special gun that tightens a coil of wire around a fleshy limb, and a woman chops off a chicken's head (some blood). Men fight with and hit women in one scene, rape is suggested, and in another, a woman's naked breasts are exposed against her will. It's very violent and gory, with lots of blood, dead bodies, severed limbs/heads, and more. Parents need to know that The Snowman is a crime thriller about a serial killer that's set in Oslo, Norway, and based on a novel by Jo Nesbø. Main character smokes cigarettes.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide.
A secondary character is also a heavy drinker. Main character is said to be "a drunk." He wakes up holding an empty bottle in one scene.
