Dark and devastating Scandi crime
THE HUNTERS is a crime thriller about a Swedish cop who returns to his home town to discover a hotbed of crime and deceit as he pursues a reindeer poaching gang. This stars WALLANDER actor Rolf Lassgard and it does feel very much like a Henning Mankell story, by which I mean it’s a classic slice of Scandi-crime dripping with atmosphere and suspense.

The story that plays out is very nearly as icy as the chilly background in which the tale takes place. Certainly it’s an exploration of the dark side of the human soul, with a typical police procedural in the first half giving way to something much more sinister and murderous in the second. Rolf Lassgard and Lennart Jahkel are excellent in the lead roles as a pair of brothers driven apart by living at opposite ends of the moral spectrum.

The only reason I’m not a massive fan of this genre is that I don’t like the way that the criminals are never made to really pay for their crimes, due to the limitations of the justice system (which are all too apparent here). I prefer the sort of film where the protagonist goes outside of the law in order to bring the bad guys some true justice. Still, THE HUNTERS trades crowd-pleasing vengeance for chilly realism, offering no easy answers or a perfect ending; it’s as dark and quietly devastating as it gets.

A Swedish Disaster
Oh my God. *blush blush blush* Rarely was an ostentative definition of a-m-a-t-e-u-r-i-s-m given. This movie is a national Shame.

The material, the conception, the setting, it’s all quite promising. A thriller with action and good deal of personal drama, all taking place in an exotic environment: the sparsely populated Swedish countryside of the forbidding Wild North. It really could have been something.

It’s all squandered with incredible ineptitude.

Looking to the story into some detail, it’s bad enough, but nevermind; the awkward way it’s all worked out renders it irrelevant. The events don’t f-l-o-w. Due to exceptionally bad baaad baaAAAaad directorship the plot hacks it’s way forward like barely adjoining pieces of wood simply added along a row: no nuance allowed here. And all this awful overplay, the consistent destroyer of Swedish movie-making; they can’t act so they SCREAM for compensation. And the dialog; a sequence of blatantly stupid l-i-n-e-s read by the “actors” like right out of a manuscript they saw for the first time; and the awkward pauses; and the stiff, unnatural poses and statures. Was it shot directly, with no repetition, no rehearsal and no retaking, engaging some no-paid amateur actors called in the very same morning, while the screenplay was still being scribbled down off the top of some guy’s head…? If real people behaved like that, their company would sink through the floor with embarrassment. WHY did capable local stars like Helena Bergström and Rolf Lassgård stoop to this trash. It’s inexplicable.
