Deviations. We're called deviations.

It has been a long time since I have been to Iceland, and I spent most of my time on the Eastern part of the island. I remember it as beautiful, and this film certainly displays that.

Besides the cinematography, the music is equally outstanding and certainly adds to the mood of the film.

Erlender (Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson) is tapped to solve an old man's death, and finds a connection to an old cold case. Shades of Lenny Briscoe, he is trying to solve both cases while dealing with a junkie daughter, whom every scumbag seems to know intimately.

Family secrets, a genetic disease, and dirty cops all add up to an interesting tale of crime.
