I have to say that overall I quite enjoyed this film, but I think it was more for the portrayal of the main character's line of work, than for the film and storyline itself. There are some fantastic (if a little gory) scenes of the work of a crime scene cleaner - as a fan of crime novels, forensics novels and CSI, this was great. However, the storyline was a real disappointment. Don't get me wrong, it started off well and for the first 30 minutes or so really had me gripped. But then there were points in the film that really dragged, where the story didn't seem to be going anywhere. By far the biggest let down for me was a point in the latter half of the film, where such a huge leap of logic was made by the leading character that it ruined the believability of the entire story. Maybe I missed something, maybe I just switched off for the crucial moment, but as far as I'm aware I saw all the clues - they just didn't quite make sense. Interesting, but ultimately disappointing.
