Twin (2019)
2/10
Atmospheric drama, but one massive flaw....
19 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A good, but overlong Nordic thriller with an interesting plot. The acting, music and cinematography are fine but it is let down by an enormous plot hole; Nobody challenges the identity of the brother until the end of episode 6 when the daughter finally catches her "dad" out with questions about a previous holiday. Are we really expected to believe that the father-in-law, the children, the work colleagues and the lovers of the twin brothers cannot tell them apart? Even the most identical twins would be different in terms of teeth, moles, voices, mannerisms and most importantly, knowledge. The new"dad" knows nothing of the work he is supposed to do, he doesn't know his friends' names, where his son's school is... he can't even start his own car and his father-in-law is watching him!! No. Totally ridiculous. He would have been rumbled in the first five minutes if any one of the characters had been just 1% more curious, particularly the young cop whose deduction skills are practically zero!
