3.5 out of 10 The Hell Jar
Brendan from Dublin, 25 Feb 2009
An excellent thriller which cleverly intertwines mysteries of body and soul amidst gloomy, smalltown Iceland. When a man is found murdered Detective Erlunder and his squad begin an investigation which brings more questions than answers. Gradually the various strands are pulled together in an unsettling, quitely gripping film.

3 out of 10 the grossest eating of a cows head I've seen
Joanna from Dublin, 25 Mar 2009
It won't make you want to go on holiday to Iceland, and the ending is rather predictable from the beginning, but this is an intersting detective story...good...but not quite great

Aidan from Dublin, 20 Feb 2009
Stunning piece, the first Icelandic film I had seen. Depressing and dark in parts but looks superb, anyone who loves cop thrillers should see this. Superb.
