...only a heroic and visionary minority has the gumption to resist evil. Most of us, like Halder, just go along with whatever system is in place. Indeed, the compromises he is obliged to make are generally speaking so minor that he scarcely notices them until it is too late, and their cumulative effect finally becomes inescapable. It is interesting to see Mortensen, normally an expertly rambunctious actor, hiding behind his wireless glasses, playing a dim and fussy man, but to place antiheroism at the center of a film is to invite a kind of indifference that vitiates our involvement...
