I watched this twenty years after its release, which probably gave it some nostalgic credit. It is not a bad film, and most of the actors, especially Taneli Mäkelä, deliver better performances than I expected. Unfortunately, the story never felt believable or consistent enough to work as genuinely good drama. And if a film cannot make its characters and events feel true, then it needs something else to carry it, something wild, funny, unsettling, or haunting. This one never quite gets there either, so it ends up stuck in between.
