The premise of the movie (titled "Black Crab" in English) is interesting, but the execution of the story is shoddy and subpar as is the rest of the movie. Noomi Rapace is the highlight here and some of the visuals. The rest is just bad. Despite decent production values and some action scenes, the movie just feels amateurishly made, moving back and forth between annoying and infuriating or deadly serious and just plain goofy.
While two thirds of the movie go one way, not very convincingly so but at least consistently, the last third just throws everything on it's head and basically shoves it down the crapshute.
In the end this is nothing more than a perhaps overly fanciful made for TV, or in this case streaming, movie, the kind that some years ago would have been a direct-to-DVD release.
