The Hypnotist (2012)
Moderate police procedural thriller from Sweden.
Directed by Lasse Hallstrom, he of the excellent Chocolat (2000). The film fails to really ignite until the gripping set piece on the ice in the final reel. Although well acted the story just didn't do enough to entertain or indeed thrill for the most part, and whilst never boring - the film boasts some excellent cinematography - certainly wouldn't draw me back for a second viewing.
