Wallander lands in South Africa for a conference, but gets entangled in a local case, involving a missing Swedish woman.
It's a very unusual story, the Swedish setting adds a bleak, dark layer, that atmosphere is of course absent here, instead we have the bold and dramatic imagery of Africa. We have the contrast of the very poor South Africa and the very affluent Sweden.
Branagh's great, wonderfully straight laced, I love that he doesn't play the hero here.
Bonnie Henna is tremendous as Sergeant Grace, incredibly charismatic, she really does steal the scenes.
8/10
