Control

Control (Het Tweede Gelaat, 2017) is a Belgian crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Jan Verheyen builds the film around two detectives — Vincke and Verstuyft — whose decade-long partnership starts to fracture under the pressure of a serial killer case. Koen De Bouw and Werner De Smedt lead.

The killer picks victims carefully and puts them through an ordeal before each death, leaving trails that seem to point somewhere but never quite do. Things get complicated when a survivor enters the picture and Verstuyft gets personally involved. What began as a procedural gradually turns into a study in how trust erodes between two men who assumed they knew each other completely.

Quietly effective crime cinema from Belgium — the kind that rarely travels far beyond its home market. Stream Control online on iFILM.
