Being a fan of this type of storytelling, “Snowman’s Land” is a fairly enjoyable entry into the canon. Not content to be a completely dark tale,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, Thomson accentuates his situations with well placed dark humor, such as Mickey sitting down to enjoy some coffee and freshly baked scones, begging Berger to open a jar of jam for him after both his hands and arms had been intentionally broken not more than hours before. Walking the line between comedy and thriller, we’re later presented with a storyline about mysterious unseen locals that are out to destroy the domicile they’re protecting. Unsure if it’s all Berger’s paranoid mind or actual evils out to get them, we’re never really given any real indication of their existence. The movie makes several of these slight,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, unexpected and clever twists, all punctuated by strong performances from it’s cast.
Combined with breathtaking shots of the stark winter wasteland of the mountains, highlighting the absolute isolation the pair are in,Cheap Jerseys, the maniacally played character of Berger, the sympathetic Walter and graceless Mickey, “Snowman’s Land” presents a darkly comedic tale of well meaning characters thrown into uncomfortable and dangerous situations. If one is looking for a crime drama, this is not it. For those who are fans of the darker edges of comedy and don’t mind a little violence, this is a worthy watch.
Walter (Jürgen Rißmann) is a hit man whose career is going to pot. He’s drinking heavily, gambling, and he’s just shot the wrong guy. Before it gets any worse he’s encouraged to take a holiday. Walter retires to the snowy mountains for some peace. Here he meets another hitman – Mickey (Thomas Wodianka) – and they both pay a visit to an old employer living in a mansion amongst the snowy peaks.

Thomson’s film does owe a lot to Fargo – its snowy location and its tale of incompetent hitmen especially – but it also seems to owe a lot to Ealing comedies. The tone here is plain farce. Much of the violence that occurs in the film is played for laughs. It doesn’t share the same graphic nature as Fargo either,Cheap China Jerseys Authentic, and there is certainly no wood chipper. There is, however, a swimming pool with a lingering smell of blood and decay.
Where the film falls down is in its direction. The set up is good,Cheap Jerseys USA, but the pay off is less successful. After Berger returns home to wreak glorious vengeance, the film does falter. There are a couple of twists thrown in which are fun, but ultimately a little unbelievable. It’s a shame because the characters are so good, and they are played with warmth. Jürgen Rißman is particularly wonderful as Walter; his hangdog expression is equal parts heartbreak and hilarity.
To be fair, the signs were there from the beginning. The introduction of a slightly overbearing voiceover and some flashy visuals could have either been the icing on the cake, or over-compensatory. Unfortunately it’s the latter, and although always engaging, Snowman’s Land is essentially a cold fish.
