i really love icelandic cinema and all those story which have an inherent ancient nordic mysticism or spiritualism about them . i know nothing about this film prior to view it at the melbourne film festival except that it be icelandic . have visit there and be totally capture by the stark beauty of the country i be really look forward to anything that be serve up . however i be really disappointed when i find it be for all intent and purpose an american film shot in iceland . i be a fan of forest whittaker but in this film he be totally miscast . and what be he try to achieve with the inconsistent accent . he stand out too much and just do not fit the character of an insurance investigator . julia stile character be half way to trailer trash and frankly and she just look too good throughout . perfect complexion and glow skin color and simply too healthy it do not fit the role . the end be also way too manufacture so a to keep commercial audience happy . she a single mother with a son who need money to survive let make sure she get it even if we have to totally change the lead character action to ensure it happen . one thing i will say in it favor be that the car crash stunt towards the end of the film be absolutely fantastic that really come from nowhere . very impressed with the genuine level of danger involve it look very hairy to perform . however overall and a disappointing storyline with few engage character and a poorly cast lead sink this film for me .
