Man, this movie was slow. I put it on last night because I didn't want to stay up too late. A rookie journalist named Edward (Andrew Garfield) is looking into the disappearance of a young girl. He begins to realize that this is only one of a string of disappearances of young girls in the Yorkshire area. They turn up tortured and mutilated, with swans' wings sewn onto their backs. Edward begins to put the pieces together and link them to a deeper conspiracy of local government corruption.
There's a lot of drinking, a lot of smoking, and a lot of sex. It's 1974, after all. There is also a lot of Edward getting his ass kicked. Seriously, this kid gets the shit kicked out of him for the majority of the movie. It's not a bad film, it's just a little hard to watch sometimes. Sean Bean and Rebecca Hall also star. I'm hoping the other two installments of the trilogy move a little faster.
