this be an interesting idea go bad . the hidden meaning in art leave a clue by a serial killer sound intriguing and but the execution in anamorph be excruciatingly slow and without much interest . there be no other way to describe the film except bore . the death clue be the only interesting part of anamorph . everything connect them be tedious . willem dafoe give a credible performance a the investigator and but he have little to do with a script that be stretch to the limit . several support character actor be waste and include peter stormare a the art expert and james rebhorn a the police chief and paul lazar a the medical examiner and and most notably deborah harry and who be feature on the back of the dvd case and yet only have a couple line speak through a cracked door . not recommended . merk .
