“Limbo” (** out of four) was a muted mystery melodrama about a burned-out detective (Simon Baker) who arrives in the title town to investigate and re-open the case of a murdered girl 20 years ago and finds that various new truths and identities begin to unveil themselves and he has to battle his own psychological demons while trying to solve the case once and for all. Moody black-and-white cinematography by director Ivan Sen is a highlight but is only window-dressing for what is otherwise a plodding and routine story. Baker is sold in the lead but is drowned out by film’s solemnity and torpor.
