Movie Reviews

If it was made by hollywood, everyone would give it 10/10

This movie is a masterpiece. It focuses so much on the story and gives perspective from everyones point of view. It even manages to give some morals to the kidnapper. The acting is great and the actors fit the characters they play really well. The movie was a very emotional one, were you got to see the main peoples troubles in thier own life, which I really enjoy. It gives the movie a more involvment and actually make the movie more senceable. I feel like it is one of those movies were if it was made by hollywood, then it would've been given a 10/10 even if it was the same movie. I think the only reason it's not 10/10 by everyone watching is because it isn't made from a huge and famous business.

An emotional drama rather than a thriller

This movie started out well with a tense and engaging scene in which a troubled young man (Artan) kidnaps his estranged wife (Louise) at work. The background to their estrangement is hinted at in this first scene and gradually revealed throughout the movie. The highlight is a dramatic and very entertaining encounter with Louise's parents in which much is exposed about the family dynamics. Unfortunately the movie doesn't sustain these heights and indeed I was losing interest by the end and feeling frustrated that so little was explained about Artan's back story.If you're looking for a realistic, emotional family drama that feels like it's being played out in real time you'll probably enjoy this movie. However, if you're looking for a thriller or a psychological drama that keeps you guessing you'll probably be disappointed by the end.The acting and photography are excellent throughout. Fares Fares is wonderful as the police negotiator with his usual understated, compassionate presence that any fan of the Department Q films will appreciate.

Very good crime thriller

Fares Fares is definitely an icon in Swedish cinema, and comes from a family of rich and very artistic filmography.This new installment to add to his filmography is definitely in line with his earlier works, and a truly nerve tickling thriller that will leave you ever on the edge of your seat.The actors all do an incredible job, and are accompined by a great and very suspensful, tightly paced script.It is very much beautifully put together in terms of both cinematography, cutting and editing - as one would expect from such a great director as Fares.Overall, very solid thriller that I would highly recommend!
