Review

finally got around to checking this film, the first in the millennium series, out. it’s pretty standard in terms of its arc and substance. it’s part revenge film and part mystery film. the combination of the two isn’t even all that unique. however, that doesn’t mean the film isn’t a good one. the two main characters work well next to each other and the other characters in the film highlight something about the main two in one way or another. it’s a long film, but that makes sense because originally film was conceived as a two part miniseries on tv (six total parts). it’s a bit difficult to keep up with the family tree, especially if you’re bad with names like me. a good film, i look forward to the others and the remake(s). not necessarily for the timid.
