A journalist investigates a 40-year-old mystery, while a hacker spies on him.

A strong film - both in the well-made sense and in the black coffee sense. There are some scenes that are horribly unpleasant to watch. But they're a relatively small portion of the movie, and they make important contributions to the story and characters. Overall, it's a much more entertaining movie than I expected based on its Swedishness, the bad poster and the premise (which in fact is not anywhere near as lame as it sounds when glibly summarized).
