Jägarna 2 (Kjell Sundvall, 2011)

The sequel to the 1996 thriller has Rolf Lassgård, a.k.a Wallander I and again an ageing copper with baggage, return once more to his home town on the Arctic Circle to investigate the disappearance of a young woman. False Trail is full of stark scenery and well acted, but the mere act of casting Peter Stormare as the local policeman leading the search already gives the game away and at over two hours the film really overstays its welcome, with little compensation in the way of providing twists, red herrings or psychological complexity.

4/10
