So I gave the cliché that the book is much better. Well, it's true, although I only watched for 20 minutes.
The first thing we see of Veum is him waking up in the bed together with Aqua Lene. In the book he has a random one night stand with a woman and that's it. He did have a son from a stranded relationship, but that's beside the point. Varg Veum is much better as a lonely, borderline depressed detective.
Other than that the scene where Veum is called to the farm to talk to Jane boy who has entrenched himself in the woods is to me over acted and unbelievable and then a short while later Veum finds an empty can of contraband moonshine out in the woods near the farm, implying that there is more to this case than meets the eye. But come on, he just happens to trip over this can out in the bush? This is not at all how it happened in the book and that's ok, but the way they put in into the script is just lazy.
So this is when I turned the movie off and bought 5 used Veum books online.
