Review of Amsterdamned

In my opinion, there aren't that many Dutch thrillers that couldn't be characterized as "only be suitable for typical Dutch soil". Indeed, the storyline of Amsterdam is perfectly aptly for the Amsterdam canal network, of both its singular beauty and mystery. Indeed, there's a contradiction between the attraction that these canals have on both numerous tourists and all the Amsterdam inhabitants. The canals are only worshiped by being navigated and watched from the wharfs and buildings. As far as I know, Amsterdamned is the very first movie that unravels a fear that's felt by many Dutch water freaks who dive, swim or sail in any Dutch lake, shore, swimming pool or ditch. They have fantasized about exploring the Amsterdam canals, but feel too much fear of realizing it because of being scared off by the menacing nontransparent waterlines. The murderer of Amsterdamned must have occurred in anyone's nightmare before this movie was released. Therefore, Amsterdamned is a kind of epoch-making story. Water crime is hardly ever published in media. Amsterdamned is a perfect paramount of the thin line between imaginable crimes from the canals that once could happen in reality and anyone's unspoken recurring fear of hidden malevolent divers. Although the main characters of Amsterdamned are just flat and a little shallow, the tension is built up very well. Indeed, it takes a lot of time before the real perpetrator is both found and arrested. His mutilated voice is only unveiled in the very end of the movie. So before this revealing scene, the main question is: what's the face behind the masquerade in the shape of a diving suit? Furthermore, the diver's motives for his atrocious deeds in the canals, is only told very lately by a psychotherapist, who previously didn't appear to be an ambiguous person at all. Therefore, Amsterdamned has enough surprising personal plots.
