The US accent that Brit actor Dominic Monaghan has managed to work out for this role is terrible. Why choose a British actor if the story needs a North American? They lose all naturality. They lose energy and truthfulness.
And why couldn't the cop be British, anyway?
Also, when Swedish actors must speak English, much get in the way of their acting. They think about the accent too much. Also because they are so pre-occupied by lowering the voice to be believable. Nyqvist (RIP) is not very good in close up scenes. He works everything too much, even if he tries to be even more low key than fellow Swede Stellan Skarsgaard.
I hopé we get rid of the ridiculous idea that all film actors need to speak with a whisper to be credible.
The killer is slick and non-interesting. This is a complete waste of time.
The wrtiting is terrible. Superficial dialogue and things that are unnecessary. Why does the Swedish cop need to be so antagonisttic to the NY cop from the first minute. This is not realistic. Why does the US cop insist on driving the Swedes's car? Realistic?
Forget about it.
