Desolation, brutality, dark humor. Basic ingredients of
every successful Scandinavian noir thriller, when skillfully mixed together.
„In the order of disappearance” has all the above mentioned,
but not in the right amount
and scale. Brutal crime is there, motif of father’s (Stellan Skarsgard)
revenge as well. Humor is where the script
tends to deviate into banality, only to totally collapse after the
appearance of the Serbian mobsters led by Bruno Ganz and Sergej Trifunović.
From then on and all the way to the tragicomic finale,
„In the order of disappearance” is just begging you to „disappear it” from your
hard drive/player due to its shallow and caricature unfolding and acting.
Heavy failure, despite the great atmosphere of
desolated Norwegian snowy landscape.
