Soul's Mirror is ambitious and certainly holds no punches back. You enter an icy concrete jungle where any weakness can mean your doom. That underbelly is portrayed with a surprising authenticity through Frode Graadahl's vision as well as the performances he is able to draw from his actors. Asmund Brede Eike is brooding yet explosive playing Alex like a dynamite with a slow-burning fuse. Mette Holt's appearance as the negotiator is a welcome sophistication among the cast of hard- looking mobsters. However, it's Driton Llapi as Tony who always keeps you guessing. The stone-faced gangster can be your best friend or break you... depending on where you fit into his own schemes. Even when he's smiling you still feel a volatile edge and anything might happen. With all that in mind, you get a grisly outcome once everyone's agendas are revealed and collide.
