Review of Far North

Far North (2007)
2/10
Possible talent wasted on untenable exaggeration
10 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
HUGE SPOILER IN THIS REVIEW.

But, you would surely be better off for reading it.

Other reviews have covered most of the general aspects, but, to avoid a HUGE spoiler, have seemingly soft pedaled on the ending.

Perhaps the story on which this movie is supposed to be based is to blame, but while much of the movie is reasonably classily made, the ending is TOO stupid and ridiculous for words. Such an ending does NOT deserve such good story telling capability in the movie crew or the acting talents of the actors. How stupid do the film makers expect the viewers to be to accept that the protagonist can kill some one, skin their face and wear it as a mask to pass off as the victim and worse expect further stupidity in believing that the murderer can, with such, skinned mask, get intimate with the victim's lover who will get on full gusto with the intimacy with NO clue for several movie minutes!!!

Full fault on the director for choosing to film this story bereft of sanity or even plausibility.
