I've just seen this film with my Finnish girlfriend who was delighted with the pin-sharp Finnish black Humour running through it. The acting was good but the young boy deserves great credit making his role believable. It is nice to see an alternate Xmas film doing what is a very limited run in Britain. There is much joy to behold in this film from the beautiful locations, the music score which enhanced the film and made it feel a much bigger picture and not forgetting an edit that did not add any silly modernistic cuts/editing style. I thought the ending just about summed up the film, dark black humour Finnish style, I hope this becomes a wee cult classic in the future. Go see it!

interesting British thriller
24 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
just watched this interesting thriller starring Lee Evans, who unlike his normal manic comedic behaviour plays this role well, hemming in his manic persona extremely well. it is interesting to see that in Britain there are still film makers attempting to do something different with the thriller genre and it is nice to watch something homegrown than some of the Hollywood formulaic stuff. You will read elsewhere a synopsis of the movie... my recommendation is to get hold of a copy and enjoy...Don't worry about the plot holes too much. Some of the other acting is probably a bit on the weak side but Lee Evans certainly holds his own.At the end of the day there's a lot of goodness there.
