great movie great book the story is slightly misleading but still great this is not the Hollywood typical action movie but a movie with characters development and quality acting.The directors tells the story in a completely different manner then Hollywood movies and was more of a European style movie.Jean reno did a great job in a different role.The plot developed really well and made it more of a thinking movie then a action movie.The turns in the plot kept the film from becoming boring and the acting felt real and authentic.There are some flaws in the cinematic elements and there were some flaws in some of the plot twists but it,s still a great movie.Jean reno is a great actor

In the small mountain town of Avechot a teenage girl has disappeared, presumed kidnapped. Inspector Vogel, a famous police detective, is called in. A suspect is identified. The clues all point to him but Vogel doesn't have any evidence. However, Vogel is not above using the media to progress the legal process.

Great crime drama. Very intriguing and unpredictable from start to finish. Many twists and turns: just when you think you have it all worked out, the plot goes in a different direction. The time-jump and multiple perspectives plot development plus a wonderfully dark and foreboding atmosphere help the intrigue and general feel of the movie.

Some great themes too, especially media intrusiveness, how it interferes with the justice process and how it destroys people's lives. There's also a great greyness to the characters: nobody is clearly 'good' or 'bad', adding to the intrigue and unpredictability.

Nothing is revealed until the very end, though here is where the movie loses some of its lustre. Writer-director Donato Carrisi tries to throw in too many twists and possible outcomes, making the ending a bit confusing and not as perfect as it could have been.

Still a great movie though.

Excellent story, acting, directing, and cinematography. It's not a flash-dash film, but is perfectly timed. Well above average on every level.

What a great film! ''La Ragazza Nella Nebbia'' has all the elements that guarantee genuine quality entertainment, the acting is terrific, the plot is ingenious and the dialogue is top notch. Toni Servillo delivers once again an unforgettable performance in this Italian crime/thriller, while the director, who is also the screenwriter, Donato Carrisi makes an impressive debut in the film industry. This is not the typical Hollywood crime/noir film carrying all the cliches of the genre, but a meticulous character study and social commentary on the interrelationship between the judicial system and mass media. As the protagonist inspector Vogel states: ''Justice doesn't boost ratings. Nobody cares about justice''. This is a movie that demands the viewer's full attention and the reward is a brilliant finale which concludes the story of a missing teenage girl in a small Italian rural town. This film is recommended to all cinema lovers and not just those who are fond of crime/suspense stories. Make sure not to miss this Meditteranean gem!
