Operation Omerta

So the first part of the movie gave me a bad taste that continued throughout.

Terrible tactics from the beginning result in unnecessary casualties that pretty much lay the ground work for Amateur hour.

If there's any shred of truth to this, you'll know why the UN is referred to as Useless Neighbors.

Nonsensical plot simply made in the essence of the current political backdrop to point to more Russian Collusion.

We all know how that worked out in the US.

I can't recommend such garbage knowing there's an underlying agenda here. Gone are the days of movies simply being entertaining without the constant attempts at brainwashing our naive youth. Sad but true, hard pass on this one.

It's funny when people read a good book they immediately think this would make a great movie. This is not a good movie

Lead actor plays the part of no nonsense Finnish tough guy. Which fits Pääkkönen rather well.

Seems that direction and production were too busy dreaming their vacation during the filming so results is a poor Hollywood ripoff.

It is clear that this is made for Finnish audience only with cameos from news readers and other people who very few foreigners know.

This means more for the fans of Ilkka Remes and Finns who might have wished for this to be their own super cop series as Remes has made at least 15 book that continue this story in a alternative Finland with various characters.

The plot is a film about security topics from EU and Finnish centric perspective, which is unique and provides quite a bit to be explored. The current geopolitical environment also makes the basic storyline somewhat believable. However, as the film progresses, the plot holes keep on expanding to the point that the film became quite nonsensical at the end. It is fine if it has the budget of blockbuster Hollywood action flick to cover that up, but it doesn't. Even though they did an outstanding job with the budget, it is still not quite there in absolute terms and it shows. The acting is bland, but perhaps it is a cultural element there. What is clear, though, is that the actors clearly didn't spend enough time/effort training. Their combat techniques (weapon manipulation/tactical movements etc.) look like amateurs when they are supposed to be highly trained agents. It is definitely not the worst action film I've seen, but unfortunately I cannot say I recommend this movie.

Being a Scandinavian I try to watch the Scandinavian movies out there, but I seriously had a hard time not turning this one off quite a few times.

Inexperienced actors, silly gunhandling, stereotypic plot and the pace is so slow it should neither be considered action, nor a thriller.

There are some seriously dumb scenes in this movie, and I won't spoil them, but I wonder if the producer was out on his coffe break when those scenes were recorded.

There are som scenic shots of Stockholm, but that's about it.

There are way better Scandinavian movies out there so I'd recommend chosing another movie to watch.

This kind of films with these scripts just thinking its made by kids' 7 years old.

Just a package of rubbish, for a real fan of movies' it's a torture to watch.

If you love yourself a little bit, avoid this garbage.
