The Snowman (out Oct 19) follows a flawed Norwegian police detective investigating the disappearance of several women in Oslo. This screenplay has problems. Some subplots add zero value (e.g. one involving J.K. Simmons) and the lead character (played by Michael Fassbender) seems to change his mindset every 2 minutes. Disappointing. Grade: C.
