A thriller made in Austria – any good?

The tagline is: You get into the movie from the very first frame. The story offers an array of very different and well-established characters. The tension grows and grows. Maybe a twist at the end could have added to the story, but all in all a very entertaining film.

The cast is outstanding. Although the story contains very specific and hard to play parts, the entire cast does a brilliant job.

The camera work is excellent too. We all know that these days every filmmaker tries to show what a camera is capable of doing. Drones, cranes, steady-cams, gopro-shots … the list is endless. But here the camera is used in a classic way. It has a function: to observe, without being obtrusive. The result is that the audience is taken into the story. The color grading added a perfect touch for the genre. Beautifully shot!

And the sound? Yes the sound is important too. (If not more important). The dialogue is crisp and clear, the sound design adds a lot of subtle layers supporting the story and the sound mix is done in a highly professional and emotional way.

A thriller made in Austria – any good? Yes good. Really good. I enjoyed watching it.
