I did not like The Hypnotist - couldn't finish it, in fact, but I found this thriller spellbinding. The characters are all individually drawn, quirky and engaging. The action is unpredictable. The plot is well executed. Thoroughly satisfying. I just wish the original title from the Swedish, The Paganini Contract, was kept. Paganini turns out to be a minor character in the whole drama in a way that will fascinate anyone who knows of his musical and stage persona.
