Fantastic Fest: The Absent One (2014)

Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #7

Decent detective mystery in the same vein as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movies.  As a matter of fact, this Danish film is based on a best selling book.  This movie is part two.  Part one is the movie, "The Keeper of Lost Causes" also by the same director.  This movie is a slow mystery ride to a hardcore third act.   The main detective is tryng to solve a 20 year double murder case when the only witness pops up.  Enjoyed it. Lots of deceit and scandals here.  
While it may not be among my top of the festival, I still think is worth checking out if you love your detective mysteries.
