This movie could have been so much more and it's a shame there were not just a few changes which would have changed this from a slightly below-average offering to a truly great and well-meaning film.
The plot revolves around a detective who is suffering from severe depression and enters psychiatric treatment to try and solve a murder case.
As the story progresses it's hard to say whether the lead character is indeed a policeman or simply a very mentally ill man who suffers delusions.
The main criticism for me is a complete lack of action during most of the movie. This means the plot is wholly bulked by verbal exchanges and little else. I'll also say a lot of the story is fairly samey and there's no real change of pace at any point.
The movie is shot in a gritty way and the acting is good as it doesn't (like a lot of modern acting) feel forced and fake.
An hour in and I was thinking this could be something special but overall the problems mentioned above as well as a confusing ending left me unsatisfied.
