Shorta

Feeling a but misled by the trailer that shows a very intense police hunt in a danish suburb. The movie also starts off like this, but the intensity quickly slows down and there is a lot of waiting, slow talking and the police officers just hiding from the riot. Great acting from the two police officers though and the directing and everything felt top notch.

Overall a pretty good police drama, with moments of action. We were two couples watching it together at home and fifty percent of us were sleeping half way in the movie.

I am one of those who are pretty tired of fake reviews. No need to make fake reviews about this movie, it's a pretty good movie without the "over the top" reviews made by some random crew or what ever.

It's not Judge Dredd (as some said) and it's not pumping action from start till end (also said) but it's a good solid quality Danish movie. A bit of a gangster feel, but not much really. If this had been an American movie, it would have been just another typical cop movie. But being a Danish movie, it's not like that and it feels a bit deeper.

You can read all about what it's about, so skipping all that. I think it was a good pizza-weekend-movie and it wasn't boring. It had a good story and good acting all over. This is no big CGI movie, and more of a character and story building movie. A big relevant story these days. I believed in it.

I liked it, so did my buds. We agreed on it being entertaining enough and it kept us off the phone. But, one or two almost cracked. Just almost... There really isn't anything new about this movie, that we haven't seen before. But as I wrote over here, being Danish. it gave a different feel about it.

Worth checking out! Me and my friends ended up on a 7 out of 10

Thumbs up. First og all great performance by everyone. And second the action is Way better this time for Danish Movie standards, and besides the Movie gets quite a few things right, such as cops Can be bad, and a Young man with Dark skin Can be harrassed, and the system is not flawless, and people do change when they come close to the reality, and some make mistakes and regrets Them. So glad that they showed these things from different angels, and Got Them spot on. Well done.

Or even BAC NORD, if you prefer...It is a very modern crime drama, which is really related to the actual events that happen in France and also I guess in many other countries. So, it is normal to find this kind of topic on screen. This one is obviously careful not to be under the influence of the US way of story telling, and directing. It is efficient, made in a realistic way, but the good cop bad cop scheme is the main weak point of this film about the ghetto genre, after LES MISERABLES, BAC NORD, SNABBA CASH. Though this latest focused mainly on the punks and not the police after them. The only link with John Carpenter's film is the cops alone against an army of hoodlums. But it was in another time, forty five years ago. Characters are shown in such a way that you know this is not a propaganda film for or against police, even police brutality, or against the ghetto population, including the hoodlums. The ending is unfortunately a failure and could have been better. The only good thing is that was not predictable.

If you are to watch one police movie all year, then this is it. I won't spoil too much, but you are sucked in from the first five minutes and left breathless for the rest of movie. Absolute must see. Especially, if you're Danish of course.
