• The Independent’s DVD and Blu-ray review calls the U.S. version of Low Winter Sun “polished” and thinks “it’s the seemingly lawless Detroit setting that compels most.”
• Mark Strong tells The Scotsman about his approach to playing Frank: “I didn’t want to play him as a hard-bitten Detroit cop, I wanted to play him as a flawed individual.”
• Talking to South Africa’s Independent Online, Mark Strong characterizes Frank’s situation as “morally speaking, it’s automatically dubious. He’s a good guy, but he’s killed somebody.”
