Storyline;

New York detective Jacob Kanon has a daughter. A beautiful, talented daughter who is brutally murdered as she honeymoons in blissful ignorance. Soon after, the strangest of postcards arrives on the desk of Swedish art critic Dessie Larsson... Across Europe, couples are being ruthlessly butchered in deliberate acts of violence with no end in sight. The only clues, are picture postcards sent to seemingly random journalists by a narcissistic killer, heralding the next horrific crime. Seen from the joint perspective of both the hunted and the hunters, THE POSTCARD KILLINGS digs deep into the most frightening aspects of the human psyche, drawing Jacob and Dessie into a nightmare from which there might be no escape. As the narrative explodes with operatic ferocity, our protagonists find themselves with an impossible choice to make


Thoughts;

This movie had great potential and it kept you guessing for a little bit. Once you found out the who they figured out the clues and kept you guessing a bit as to the why. I'm not sure why Famke is “starring” in this movie as she isn't really in the movie much. In the beginning and end and that's about it. The end of the movie gives a huge twist that gives you that “Oh Shit” type of feeling.


It wasn't a bad movie really, it kept you guessing and was interesting. The plot was good, the acting was good and it flowed well
