SPOILER ALERT Still read it, it saves you from disappointment. Think about a tarantino movie without a showdown. The movie starts great and manages to build up a good thrill, then when you are ready for the orgasmic showdown...there is none. Like the director decided he doesnt cares anymore and just wants to get over with it. Michael Fassbender doesn't need to fight, or put together a puzzle, and even fails to see the killer in the "showdown" who is shooting him with a pistol on a snow white frozen lake after Fassbender is screaming across the lake that he is ready for him. ( the killer isn't even wearing something white or so and just steps into the picture after the shot). And then when the killer finally wants to shoot our blind detective dead he fails to see that there is a clearly visible hole in the ice and just steps into it and vanishes. If you want to see a good Scandinavian Thriller: Watch HEADHUNTERS!

How to ruin a great book. Absolutely appalling. The characters developed over time in the books, but not in this film. Let's hope there's never another made.

Why is everyone hating on this movie? It was incredibly well shot in beautiful scenery Yes a lot of the acting was weird but isn't horror a kind of weird genre anyways? I think a lot of people has misjudged overanalized and critizised this because it is not perfect. It a part of art you know and the actors especially Harry Holy really stayed in his character the whole time. It was a good movie! Thats why 10/10 thumbs up

I usually do not review movies publicly.... this movie was so damn bad. The acting, the story, the plot twists, the snow, dialogue, rebeccas face, the killer, the cinematography, music, the mood.... worst movie of the 2010's. How can you make this with that cast.

I had read the book The Snowman by Jo Nesbø before I watched the movie and I liked it very much. The movie, however, tried to fit 500-page book into a 2-hour movie not only by omitting many scenes but also by totally changing the script or cutting the scenes. The result is that the movie is not understandable for viewers who are not familiar with the book because too many characters and their motivations remain unexplained (e.g. Rafto). And viewers who have read the book are disappointed that the characters they know from the book behave significantly differently in the movie than in the book. But the Norwegian movie settings are beautiful and I guess The Snowman deserves a 10-part TV series that would better transfer the book content into the movie script. A good example of such well working mini-series from northern Europe is Midnight Sun (2016).

Read the book a while back. Love the cast so very excited to see how this translated to film. There is no flow. It's just a series of disjointed scenes. Makes no sense. What a shame.
