Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Leofwine_draca IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE is less a crime thriller and more a quirky comedy in the blackest of moulds. This Norwegian film sees the reliably good Stellan Skarsgard shining in the lead role of a grieving father investigating the murder of his son at the hands of a drugs gang. He begins to take a violent revenge, a revenge which eventually leads to a war between rival criminal organisations in the style of YOJIMBO. This is a chilly outing which is as much about the frost-bitten, snowbound landscapes of northern Norway as it is the cruel monotonous nature of killing. It's well made for sure, with an eye for detail, but it lacks a single speck of warmth to give the story heart. A strong supporting cast features roles for Bruno Ganz and a blink-and-you'll-miss-him Kristofer Hivju.
mrmatthewadams A "black comedy" that is neither black nor comedic. I had such high expectations and kept hoping that it would get better but sadly, it didn't. An hour and 56 minutes I won't get back.
Ian (Flash Review)A local snowplow driver's son ends up dead because of a loose connection to a friend entangled with a drug gang. Furious by the lack of care and effort the police are giving to his son's case, he takes matters into his own hands. A hinted at backstory about the snowplow driver gives you the impression, he is up for this task. The movie visibly counts and takes note of each person killed as two drug gangs also get pitted upon each other. This is a very entertaining guys movie as the rest of the story is rather thin. Other reviewers said this was similar to Tarantino's films with the clever dialog. It was amusing but didn't develop the characters and were not close to as memorable as his scripts. While the cinematography was very good, this is no more than a shallow shoot 'em up, revenge-fill bloodbath.
eryui A nice black comedy, sometimes funny, that does not let you screaming to masterpiece! Beautiful scenarios, good actors and a rather simple plot. A story of revenge and a linked series of deaths due to a single mistake.A movie quietly watchable and enjoyable that, apart for some nice aspects, does not leave amazed. A sort of mix between Tarantino and the Choen brothers, but that the they would make probably a bit more engaging.Mostly watchable7/10
