A belated sequel to one of Sweden’s biggest box-office hits (1996’s Jagärna ), this glum slice of Nordic noir – renamed and repackaged in a similarly tardy attempt to cash in on The Killing – sees Stockholm copper Rolf Lassgård return to his rural home town to investigate a young girl’s brutal murder.
His arrival does not sit well with hunting enthusiast Peter Stormare, for reasons that take a long time to become apparent in a film stocked with more atmosphere than action.
“The truth always comes out, sooner or later,” sighs one character midway through.
Trust us: it’s later.
