'The Postcard Killings'is based on the James Patterson and Liza Marklund #1 New York Times bestselling novel. I cannot say for sure how closely it follows the novel but I will say the film is a well-made crime/drama with a bit a mystery to it. This is a film that you have to pay attention to because it has many characters, locations and scenarios as well as a few suspects and a number of twists as well.
The film also has a talented cast including, Jeffrey Dean Morgan who is exceptional as Jacob. The film also stars Famke Janssen as Jacob's distraught wife. The supporting cast are all excellent as well including Cush Jumbo, Joachim Król, Steven Mackintosh, and Denis O’Hare.
