Interesting idea and great work by Bokma but the execution is disappointing. The script clearly falls short and visually it is like an episode of Baantjer. 2.5*

Yesterday evening a quick snack before the necessary NFL violence broke loose on RTL, and that became this not too long Advocaat van de Hanen and with that a fairly unknown film of which Bokma is an eyecatcher and the film also in a Hollands Glorie edition. But as is often the case with Dutch film this was very disappointing, in fact I found this a stupidly annoying film.

The story may be clear about lawyer Ernst who finds it necessary to regularly go off the rails and gets himself into quite a bit of trouble with his imprisonment as a result. Not that this is his biggest problem, that is what he sees in the case of another prisoner but decides to keep it to himself with a range of consequences as aftermath in which quite a few aspects come up such as guilt, responsibility, pressure from outside to come up with a statement and even the parents who are looking for a lawyer for a case and end up at Quispel. Many elements and interesting you would say, but unfortunately...

Because Ernst as a character doesn't get much further than an annoying jellyfish, the film is sleep-inducingly boring until Ernst ends up in jail, the film plummets into the same valley when it is revealed what Ernst actually saw, and then the film trudges along in a kind of semi-intellectual pedantic-people-guilt-sense-banter and it has the tension arc of an episode of Teletubbies. Anyway, I would say clearly enough that I thought this was a worthless film and as far as I'm concerned I'll quickly go see the next one.
