On one summer evening, four strangers are brought together by a mysterious murder. A case which at first seems like a regular crime investigation turns out to be something more - a tale of love, alienation and new hope.

gaborski Mystery, Murder, Romance, Gangsters and - Tennis. It all takes place during a long summer night in Tallinn, the northern European capital of Estonia. This quaint historical Old Town serves as a lively backdrop to a seemingly existential marital strife that spirals out of control into suspicion and jealousy, involving an array of seedy and curious characters. These disparate lives will ultimately collide, and before the night is over, someone will be dead. The action is deliberate, the dialog is philosophical, and the visuals create a strange, almost hallucinatory dream-flow. If you are in the mood for - a unique experience in an undiscovered foreign land, this film is definitely worth the trip.
dqfamily This film is not your typical thriller, it has depth and character not often found in your generic suspense film. The acting is well done and the twists and turns will keep you guessing until the end. The characters are well developed and multidimensional. This film was highly enjoyable and makes you think.There are many interesting themes that this film deals with, and it is able to entwine them all into a complex and powerful storyline.The writing and directing are well done and the entire production ought to be applauded for creating such an entertaining work outside of the studio system and without anything close to the typical budget for a Hollywood film.
Krischa I saw Set Point at the film festival in Stockholm. I didn't know much about Estonia or Tallin at the time. Set Point set the country on the map for me.Beautifully shot, presents the problems of post communism times without wining; we have got enough of it. But most interesting is the heroines story. It shows what womens lot still is today in marriage, relationships or society. It reminds us also of all the "agreements". How many times didn't I feel to wipe out another troglodyte. I would be sitting at first row with Jack the Ripper if I got my way. There are some clichés to find, quite unnecessary, but so what?I appreciated the mix of old and modern, the theatrical style of it. It made the film "light", but it did put the finger on a few important problems. Some complain that Set point is cold and aloof. And how is out life in Scaninavian countries? It reminded me very much of what I see everyday in my city, in big cities all over the world. It was a nice surprise that it was not one more of the thrillers where everybody kills everybody etc etc.
"Mad" Marty Rockatansky Ed Wood was a brilliant filmmaker compared to the guy who directed this one. An absolute failure in every aspect of film-making. It felt like even all the actors had no idea what's the story about and how they ended up being part of it. It contained the most ridiculously filmed car chase ever. The aimless panning shots after scene by scene the creeping and crawling behind the windows, curtains and whatnot was the worst camera-work I've ever seen. Carmen Kass singing opera was just priceless. I feel bad for her that she was asked to take her clothes off for no apparent reason but at the same time it was the only scene worth to look at.
