“The Snowman” is a poorly made crime drama about a police detective in Norway pursuing a serial killer whose modus operandi includes using snowmen as his calling card. Sloppy direction by Tomas Alfredson (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” 2011) and a poorly written screenplay by Peter Straughan, Hossein Amini, and Soren Sveistrup are responsible for this mess of a movie.
The cast must have experienced quite a slog in trying to perform the material in the cold climate of Scandanavia. They include Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Val Kilmer, J. K. Simmons, Toby Jones, James D’Arcy, and Genevieve O’Reilly, known for playing Mon Mothma in several “Star Wars” films. Unfortunately for Universal Pictures, “The Snowman” was a bust with critics and movie audiences alike, frozen out at the box office.
