Rating:

Aiming for Death and the Maiden like suspense thrills, director Yuval Adler mines Nazi war-time atrocities (for effect), but the end result doesn't quite make it a worthy cause.

It's post-World War II in small-town USA, year 1959, and we see a Romano Gypsy woman Maja (Noomi Rapace of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fame), rebuilding her life in the suburbs with her American husband Lewis (Chris Messina playing a physician doing check-ups of the workmen), and their little son. But it doesn't take long for that seemingly idyllic setting to unravel.
