It is fine and even though maybe it begins to run out of steam towards the end, at the start the killing is so well done and it is so terrible that we are thrilled for most of the film. David Fincher is never really too happy for us to know what is going on and even the ending is maybe not as we expect. Especially with Zodiac (2007) even when we know it is not going to have a happy or even an unhappy ending and maybe it is like this as well. Even with Se7en (1995) we do not really get the ending we want and it is certainly with this one. I'm not sure about the detective who has to go cycling round and round or the older guy who is going through a marriage breakdown. The cinematography is rather good and we love to see Grenoble and the mountains even if the police work starts to get a little uninteresting.
