What's the movie's name?!??
I've been trying to identify this movie for two-three years, literally.
All I can recall is:
- it's a crime mystery/ thriller cat-and-mouse
- it's set in remote and/or snowy setting
- it's most likely from 2000s to maybe 2015-6
- it's about a serial killer, child molester/kidnapper
- the protagonist, a detective, searches all movie for the killer and, towards the end, drives past a single car accident in which the car is engulfed in fire, not realizing the guy he is tracking is actually dead inside. The suggestion is the killer is unidentified and the pursuit will fruitlessly go on forever.
It's not One Hour Photo, Frozen Ground, Wind River, Insomnia, or Hold the Dark.
For the life of me, I cannot recall the title or any of the actors.

What you are describing is the plot of a psychological mystery novel by Friedrich Durrenmatt. I am not sure of the German title, but it is sometimes translated at The Pledge. It has been adapted to movies a few times. You might be referring to the adaptation with Jack Nicholson from 2001. Below is the link to the Wikipedia page that lists all of the film adaptations of that novel.

It was a good book. Good luck with the film adaptation.

You got it. Not sure why/how I'd forget a lineup or story like that but here we are.
Thanks.
