Everything Will Be Fine

A script writer is involved in a hit and run incident and instead of staying at the scene to wait for help, the victim tells him to take his backpack and get out of there. Inside are photos of Danish soldiers torturing what I assume are Iraqis. A mystery and suspense thriller ensue with government agents, shadowy figures the protagonist cannot be sure he can trust, relationship problems, work stress, possible mental illness, and one of the worst endings imaginable. The film had to end some way and this one lands with a loud thud. Everything will be Fine was at last year's Cannes Film Festival and currently has no U.S. release date; good, it would not make very much money here. If crowds want to spend their money on crap, they go see the latest action or animated film. Lackluster mysteries usually fall through the cracks.
