    A detective story in the spirit of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the Bridge. There are some inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the plot, but the story itself and its ending allow you to forget about it.

    A continuation in the spirit and gloomy mood of the first part, but in places it was painful for me to watch and my blood ran cold from what was happening on the screen. But despite this, the plot is captivating and you want to know how the story ends, although, oddly enough, there is no particular intrigue.

    7 is a stretch. Firstly, it’s hard to call it a detective story, since there is no intrigue at all, and secondly, I personally didn’t understand this suddenly awakened empathy for the sociopathic scum of one of the cops. But overall the movie is not boring.
