The Snowman (2017) is a just such a mess in a lot of ways. The first problem that this film faces is not being able to hold the audiences attention. My attention really started to stray and I started to check my phone and see how much longer it had just within the first half hour. The plot is the second issue, I feel like there was some real potential here, it could've been intriguing and the plot could and should have been executed in a much more coherent fashion. They would introduce certain characters that I didn't fully understand why they were even in the film at all. And they would have short scenes that tried to explain some things but to be honest, the film was so all over the place and hard to follow that I just didn't care. The characters weren't given very much depth either, one character is kinda given a backstory but that's it. Also, the final scene is soooo dumb, something happens that i just cringed at, it was a "seriously?" kind of moment. This film is just all over the place and I left it thinking: "well that just didn't make much sense". I'm a big Fassbender fan, and he is a great actor, and to be fair he actually does well here, but him and Rebecca Ferguson are the only good things about The Snowman. 3/10.
