About
You may enjoy this if you’re up for a quirky, tongue-in-cheek thriller mixing assassins, espionage, and classical music in a snowy setting; Not for you if you want tight realism, fast pacing, or a serious tone like The Hunt.
Pros: striking alpine setting; offbeat opera backdrop; occasional dark humor | Cons: messy plot logic; slow pacing; uneven acting
