what a strange site is IMDb. How can you deliver such a low votes to a
nearly perfect TV-movie, The end of the site to my belief.
Rolf Lassgård plays perfectly his roll as Kurt Wallander, and he is
more in control than the book character. Now you really believe this
world.
And it is really beautiful done. Director and crew deliver a perfect
job. And they reward the viewer.
What is left is a brilliant TV-movie, with a stunning Rolf Lassgård,
and also the rest of the cast has perfect contributions.
I read the book before but this is one of the few occasions that film
is better than book. A big 9!

It is winter, 1991. Inspector Kurt Wallander's team at the Ystad police
station face a new challenge: two corpses, frozen together in a
gruesome embrace, have been washed ashore on the remote Swedish
coastline. The dead men were Eastern European criminals, but what looks
like a gangland hit takes on a much more sinister aspect when Wallander
travels across the Baltic Sea to Latvia, a nation in the throws of the
massive upheaval that will lead to its independence from the Soviet
Union. Wallander is thrown into an icy, alien world of police
surveillance, veiled threats and lies, coming to understand what it is
to live in a nation in which democracy is still a dream. Only his
dogged, almost subconscious desire to see justice done will lead him to
the shadowy figures he pursues.
Compared to one of the latest Wallender flicks 'Mannen som log (2003).'
You can conclude that the script and acting are not so good, but still
a very entertaining movie!
