thomasjay-52277 Stupidly I paid to see this thankfully accompanied by friends the pain was somewhat lessened, honestly just avoid this unless absolutely necessary there's so much going off that isn't answered and sadly the performances are shocking and weird. With 0% charm there's little to no reason to watch this unless its available on some streaming service you've got access to avoid.

TxMike My wife and I watched this movie at home on DVD from our public library.I am not familiar with the book but it evidently was a good success. This movie not so much so. It starts with a scene of an unhappy family and rather quickly the mother drives her car onto a frozen lake then stops. The boy gets out but she stays in, the ice cracks, she drowns. The story that follows is more than a bit disjointed and only near the end do we learn of the significance of the opening. Michael Fassbender is Harry Hole, a detective assigned to a murder that quickly appears to be linked to others. Most of the movie is him and others investigating clues and piecing together what is going on. It could have been made into a rather gripping story but instead comes across as rather bland.We were disappointed, the several good actors here are mostly wasted.

nemosmokes This movie is such a slow starter I was ready for it to end. The acting was so horrible based on the cast that I actually said that guy almost looks like Val Kilmer and it WAS Val Kilmer. They should have stuck with the original title, Cure for Insomnia.

zmd-36990 Oslo, Norway is the setting for this mystery/detective movie. Oslo becomes a character in itself, cold and unforgiving. Michael Fassbender is a flawed character dealing with a pathological killer. The Snowman has mystery, drama, action with an unexpected ending.
