It's sitting at 13% with a 4/10 on RT after 8 reviews link. 30 on Metacritic after 6 reviews linkThis is not good news. I don't tend to pay too much attention to reviews, but it is hard to ignore that kind of early damnation. I'm disappointed, as the last two Tomas Alfredson films sit well inside my all-time Top 50. I had high hopes for this.

Disappointing news as I liked the trailer. Fassbender seems to have a bad luck recently.

I thought the trailer and premise looked incredibly underwhelming, but Alfredson is two for two with me (including being my 2011 runner-up), so I was hoping it would turn out to be better than it looked . . . but yeah, my fears are seemingly confirmed. Bummer.

That’s unfortunate. Big fan of Alfredson’s first two films and considering how well received they were, I figured this would be in similar territory. I dug the “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” vibes I got from the trailer.

The trailers have been quite shitty. I was hoping that the marketing was at fault, but I guess not.

Bummer. This. The trailer felt so bland. I didn't think it would be this bad though.

I am so devastated. This was my top 5 most anticipated film of the year. The book is an excellent thriller and you have to be an incompetent idiot to fuck it up, but it sounds like that's what happened. I really loved the trailer too and think it's perfectly cast so I'll still try to see it this week haha. Very sad that this means that the Harry Hole film franchise is dead though.

Not surprising. The trailer was trash.

Martin Scorsese is one of the executive producers. Was that article a preemptive strike? I kid. Alfredson’s Tinker Tailor was my favorite movie of 2011, so this disappoints me.

I am so devastated. This was my top 5 most anticipated film of the year. Same. I'll still end up seeing it because I love Aldredson's last two films and I'm curious how he handles this material. I really dig the cast too, though it's unfortunate that some reviews are saying that Fassbender and Ferguson have zero chemistry

I like the director but Fassbender is insanely overrated so wasn't looking forward to it all that much

Very surprised and saddened by this, was really looking forward to it. I wonder what went wrong, it had all the pieces including a great director, terrific ensemble cast and what I hear is very good source material.

I was looking forward to it, I hope it's at least fun for those who love some pulpy fiction like me.

Same here. Fassbender + Alfredson + Nesbo seems like a dream combo, but the trailer was 😕. I mean, i can't deal with another "He is playing with us" sentence in a serial killer movie.

Thats the sad as the film had so much potential.
Oh well I will still see it but I hoped for a thriller classic.

Just saw it (Spain). I am afraid to say i gotta side with the critics. Such a mess, I usually cannot understand when somebody complaints or raves the editing, it's hard to me to identify it. But in this case, the movie was so....disperse. I dont know where to start...Rebecca Ferguson character makes no sense, some most of the dialogue is corny and unrealistic, you can see the resolution since the middle of the film, and of top of that.....they make a Nesbo book boring
