Profile of Fear

Andrew is a guy who has pretty much everything. But since his life appears shallow, he decides to enter a police school in London and mess with his uber-father. He just has to prove to himself that he can achieve something on his own - and seems to fail.

This is the startup situation with Profile of Fear, a small, unpolished marvel that I've recently stumbled upon on Fetch TV. While Andrew is on a desperate mission to show that an old case he is confronted with has some nagging questions left, he slowly drifts into a world of chaos and desperation.

It is hard to tell what fascinated me about Andrew. I do not really LIKE this character, nor do I understand every single step he makes. But his desperation, his struggle with his environment, seems surprisingly real and familiar. At least to me. It is a very, very strange feeling of being a soul mate. Strange and fascinating. This fact alone makes this movie a strong recommendation.
