Seim and Floberg steal the show

The second entry in the Varg Veum series finds the highly talented Erik Richter Strand (Sønner) in the director's chair. This is no time for directorial capers, however, because stylistically and formally Tornerose picks up where Bitre Blomster left off, probably controlled by producers Jonas Allen and Peter Bose. The two films have many of the same strengths, the most prominent being the delightful rivalry between Varg Veum (Trond Espen Seim) and Hamre (Bjørn Floberg), which offers a welcome portion of clever masculinity. All the scenes with these two players are of fine thespian class. The unfolding of the crime premise is well done too - until it all becomes a tad too far-fetched and the performers (notably Marianne Nielsen and Ågot Sendstad) are placed in situations to which they cannot seem to relate. Ultimately, Richter Strand isn't able (or allowed) to bring the depth necessary to justify the audacious final part of the story. Seim and Floberg, on the other hand, have all they need to yank each other around the set for many more films to come.*Review written in 2008.

Difficult to review

It's very exciting, dramatic, well acted and produced, with plot twists galore, but therein lies a problem. There are several plot dislocations which should never have passed. People know things and the viewer has no idea why or how, so you're left guessing, and worse still they remain unresolved. If that kind of thing upsets you, you'll be frustrated. For me the rest of the pluses more than compensate, so 8 out of 10.
