The continental directional style sets this film apart among its Norwegian contemporaries. Director Pål Bang-Hansen is constantly on the move; he has a sense of urgency and ambition about him. But although the story has potential as a murder mystery, the characters are not drawn out well enough for us to care about them. And in addition to the often stilted dialogue between them, this contribute to keeping them distant and theoretical. When your protagonist is a prick, the least you should do is to make him interesting. Egil Monn-Iversen both produced and provided an abrasive, unatmospheric score which does little to improve the impression.

This movie is beautiful! absolutely stunning, with its drama and suspense. The characters are fun and sexy and full of love for this brilliant movie! I totally fell in love with the main character "Smokey"! The footage of Volda in the summer is extravagant and sexy! The corpse in the fridge is hot! and i must say, although this movie is the best Paal Bang- Homsen movie i've ever seen; The car chase just blows you mind with its "fast and the furious-style" ! The Fiat is hot too! and the man chasing the stairs in the mountain is very exiting and fun..But its almost too good to see the old house on Eidheim,on the Berknes in Volda Burn! BURN I TELL YA!
