Review by gabriel_sanchez

I was surprised by this flick and its quality. It hooked me until the end with an interesting character and a nice plot.

In Sorjonen: Muraalimurhat, American-titled: Bordertown: The Mural Murders, we follow Kari Sorjonen on his quest to arrest the Judge: a murderer who apparently has close connections to enprisioned serial killer Lasse Maasalo, whom Kari arrested.

Kari is one of those Stephen King-type characters. He is flawed, too flawed, but he is ultimately good. He has this cool trait to remember stuff that I just love. Kudos to sir Ville Virtanen for an amazing performance.

The plot develops around the investigation that Kari leads to find the Judge. With a number of twists, this is one of those whodoneit stories.

I can't say it is perfect. Maybe because I had to switch from original audio to English dubbed and, later, to Portuguese, I lost some important piece, and, at the end, I couldn't make out what just happened. I had to read the plot on a site to understand the ending. Once it became clear, I think I can give it the shy thumbs up.

Recommendable if you like mysteries with a slow-paced rythm that is about characters.
