Plagued by guilt, a corrupt police official attempts to solve the case of a missing schoolgirl after seeing connections between her disappearance and a rash of prior abductions.
In this final chapter to the Red Riding trilogy, we go back to the beginning. No longer are we concerned with the Yorkshire Ripper, but we go back to check on Andrew Garfield's journalist and why his investigation failed. We see the man who was wrongly accused and what had become of him... and just maybe we can now find the real culprit.
For me, the first film in the series was the best. This may be the second best because it attempts to tie up some loose ends. The second film really seems more or less a place holder. Yes, it is part of the story and has some of the same characters (though not many), and yet I think it could be cut out more or less entirely and still we would have a coherent story.
