Ever wondered why someone would kill the Swedish Prime Minister?

An excellent, intelligent film, well written and played. Michael Kitchen is superb as the cold-blooded assassin, much more believable than some indestructable beefcake "actor". The closest comparison I can think of is to the original "Day of the Jackal" film. Thankfully, we are spared any speculation as to who was involved in a conspiracy, only that the web of intrigue stretches far and wide. Can be strongly recommended, partly for historical interest, mostly as a good example of Swedish film-making (or indeed any film-making). It would be a great pity if the Swedish origin prevented it from reaching a wider audience.

A dark, well-played/directed, movie.

This is the story about the killing of one of the greatest politicians in Swedish history, Olof Palme. Like the murder of JFK, many questions has popped up if involvment stretches as high as up to the government. Mikael Persbrandt shows, as usual, a superb way of playing his role. This time he plays a police on the track of the Palme-killer. Kjell Sundvall directs with perfect timing and speed, and gives the film a perfect touch. These two components bring this film up to my top10 Swedish films-list. Simply excellent!
