Okay Dutch thriller
Amsterdam is in thrall to a serial killer with a somehat unusual modus operandi; he emerges , clad in a scuba suit , from the canals of the city and slays whoever has the misfortune to be passing . <
>The case is the province of an Inspector -played by Huub Stupel -a laid back character who comes under pressure from his superiors for an early resolution of the case .They appear less concerned with the need to save lives than with the deleterious effect the killings are having on Amsterdam's vital tourist trade <
>The bulk of the movie follows standard police procedural lines and is workmanlike if somewhat plodding in execution .The solution relies a little too much on coincidence for my taste --the cop has a girlfriend who visits a psychiatrist,who just happens to know the killer -and at nearly two hours the movie is overlong . <
> <
>The climactic chase is good however and the unusual ( in cinema terms ) location helps . <
> <
>It is an okay time passer and recommended if you want a change from the usual US settings for this type of movie . <
>I will not make any comments on the acting as the performers are dubbed and dubbing removes at least half the impact of any performance even when done reasonably well -as it is in this instance
