Plot Summary: Michael Fassbender ("X-Men" series), Rebecca Ferguson ("Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation") and Charlotte Gainsbourg ("Independence Day: Resurgence") star in "The Snowman," a terrifying thriller from director Tomas Alfredson ("Let the Right One In," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"), based on Jo Nesbø’s global bestseller. When an elite crime squad’s lead detective (Fassbender) investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit (Ferguson), the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall.

I had wanted to see this one, but...savaged by critics and audiences, AND not playing near my friend and I = no thanks.

Yeah this is a bummer I was really looking forward to this one, and it's not that I just listen to critics but man when it's basically unanimous that a movie is "TERRIBLE" there's no point wasting money. Maybe I'll catch it on HBO sometime just to see if it's really as bad as they say. I mean it's at 8% on RT. It's the worst reviewed movie of the year except for Flatliners.
