Bordertown: A Eliminação

It's a sequel but made as a full-length movie. What's it about Scandinoir that makes it so immersive? This rendition is quite consistent with the series. All the essential elements are there to make it thoroughly engaging.

Kari Sorjonen is back albeit hesitantly at first. But he does what he does best in the manner he does it best because of, or maybe, inspite of his mental issues. And so is the team notably Lena and Heikkinen and master criminal Lasse Maasala.

Go for it. The format isn't what we're accustomed to but it's totally enjoyable. One might wonder though why the producer changed the film's format--from a series to a full-length movie.

As much as I loved Bordertown in the form of TV series (all 3 seasons), the movie didn't do much for me. The script is trite, and even though there was an attempt to mimic the slow burning manner of the TV show, it was difficult to cram it into the 11 minutes... Nevertheless, 5 stars for another superb acting performance my Mr. Virtanen, a true master of his craft.

Good to see most of them back together. It looks great, has very similar tension and pace.

It doesn't live up to the amazing series, though. Definitely suffers some thin spots that are not internally consistent (fundamental, very basic police errors... ridiculous) and a needlessly 'uber- villian' that just doesn't come off as having the power that the writer(s) give him.

These failings are unfair to viewers, and to devotees of the series.

It's good, probably mainly because we're eager for the series to return. Without seeing the series first, this movie is less engaging.

,this is utterly preposterous. Did they honestly believe they could lift the Lecter/Buffalo Bill storyline and supplant it ( poorly ) in Finland ? Police procedures right of the window, a serial killer uncuffed in a school hall. Poor outing this one and it's quite obvious that the budget has gone, hence the reason there would no series 4. Disappointed.

I am a fan of the series, and I loved seeing everyone on the screen again, I think there are chapters of the series with more intrigue than the movie, even so I hope there will be more movies, my favorite Netflix series.
