Synopsis

The third and final entry in an ambitious, dark, and thrilling trilogy of interlinking films set in Yorkshire in the 1970s and 80s. 1983: Another young girl has disappeared and Detective Chief Superintendent Maurice Jobson recognises some alarming similarities to the abductions in 1974, forcing him to come to terms with the fact that he may have helped convict the wrong man. When local solicitor John Piggott is persuaded to fight this miscarriage of justice he finds himself slowly uncovering a catalogue of cover ups.

Sopresa final! (Sopresa no argumento do capítulo, porque en calidade é ainda millor co resto)

It all ended feeling a bit unfinished, but still this film was very much in the same vein as the first two: rain, corrupt police and a gritty atmosphere throughout. I might sound like a clown but I wish they'd thrown in an ice-breaker or two as the atmosphere was almost too dense throughout the whole film; I felt the need to breathe, if you know what I mean. Other times, it was suspenseful and exciting. Result: good!

A surprisingly conventional thriller climax isn't enough to derail this solid and strongly-directed conclusion to a well-made and detail-oriented crime trilogy, but I have to wonder what people from the Yorkshire area make of these films, which play a little bit like the world's worst tourism video for Northern England.
