Review: The is a murderer terrorizing the canals in Amsterdam. Police detective Eric Visser is trying to find out who is killing all these innocent people.

“Amsterdamned” is considered a very “un-Dutch” spectacular, entertaining action thriller. It’s directed by Dick Maas, praised for its thrilling canal chase and atmosphere.

It’s an exciting story with a good whodunnit, but it is predictable at times. The performances by the main actors is solid, the supporting roles are a bit weaker.

It’s an entertaining film and a classic in Dutch cinema within its genre.

Rating: 3/ 5
