This is a well acted and well directed movie. The story, while deviating from the book, is still excellent and the locations/scenes are perfect.

I'm not a fan of crime drama movies but this is one that I decided to watch and I'm glad I did, I'm only sorry that my expectations were set low because I stupidly read the reviews (here on imdb) before watching it.

It is well acted and I have to say that Jeffrey Dean Morgan excelled as far I can see. The support acting was equally as good and Joachim Król was superb as the German detective (could have been Inspector Frost's German brother!).

Synopsis: well acted, good story although deviates from the book but that doesn't detract from the overall experience.

New York police detective Jacob Kanon (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his wife Valerie (Famke Janssen) arrive in Europe to retrieve their daughter's body after she was murdered by a serial killer. The killer poses the bodies to mimic great works of art. Jacob stays behind to track down the killer himself. Dessie Lombard (Cush Jumbo) is a reporter who starts writing about Jacob and the killer. Meanwhile, hulking Pieter Holl introduces himself to an American couple (Naomi Battrick, Ruairi O'Connor) traveling on an European train.

This is a rather bland murder procedural. It feels like a weak British TV killer procedural. There is a functional twist but there is nothing else after that. The tension is never raised and this just falls flat.

Kimberly nee Konan is murdered on her honeymoon in London. Her father Jacob (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is a 30-year detective in the US. He is initially locked out of any investigation details. As it turns out, she was a victim of a series of murders connected with a postcard and saying. Using these clues, Jacob attempts to find the killer.

The film gives you a head fake about the killer and then a small twist at the end. The production slowly gives you a hook, but once caught, you are there for good.
