JG's acting in here is excellent. It's sad that some didn't like it because it was a remake. As others have written, it makes no difference. The US remake of The Killing was equally good as the original. This film is intense as we watch Jake on screen the whole time, almost always in a close-up as well. The only aspect I wasn't sure was necessary was his side story. The film would be fine without it, however, perhaps it was to add to the intensity, in which case, that worked. The tension and suspense were well done. It could work as well as a play. The on screen all the time for one actor role reminds me Naomi Watts in Ellie Parker, although that wasn't also shot in one location and had far more other actors on screen.
