Everyone’s sleeping on Netflix’s latest crime thriller, but I loved the atmosphere of ‘Danish murder mystery in Borneo’

One arrival that has gone unnoticed so far among the new Netflix movies coming in August 2024 is Borderless foga murder thriller set in Borneo, on the other side of the Indonesian and Malaysian borders – it doesn’t even have enough reviews to earn a Rotten Tomatoes score. It follows Inspector Sanja (Putri Marino, who is terrific) as an instantly iconic new detective – unmistakable with her close-cropped curls and doctor-prescribed pink sunglasses – as she investigates a strange decapitated corpse left on the border between the countries, which does have a head… just the wrong head.

What follows is an astonishingly dense and thematically interesting mystery that has the dark tones, character motivations and morally ambiguous vibes of an entire Danish murder series like The murder or The bridgebut crammed into less than two hours… and yet somehow it’s not impossible to follow. It’s not satisfying enough as a whole to make the best Netflix movies list, but as a connoisseur of the mid-range detective thriller genre I had a lot of fun with it and would happily watch an annual Inspector Sanja movie where she looks out gloomily over beautiful and foreboding jungle landscapes.
