The Absent One

Fincher vibe, you can easily see the inspiration it has from Fincher, it's that "Se7en" evilness and the vibe of both versions of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" that nordic feel and shut off characters. Of course this is not as good as the two, but I love this kind of mystery, crime, thriller film. Eerie and brutal with likeable character who seem realistic and are quite cool and interesting. It looks good, again with that Fincher style, but not AS good as Fincher's style in my opinion.4/6
