Helikopterrånet

This is a great thriller throughout. It has a wound-up tension that gets tighter as the story moves along.

The acting was first-rate and convincing. The characters were real and not the cardboard types that you sometimes find in this action-thriller genre.

There is a great build-up to the heist, and we see all the preparations taking place, and then how things never quite work out as planned.

I really appreciated that this never went into the cliché of extended car chases and crashes - and shoot-outs with lots of gunfire and explosions.

This is a first-rate, edge of your seat, thriller and suspense movie from beginning to end.

As a big fan of "Moneyheist" (La Casa...) I kind of like this even more as it nots so polished.

Every star in money heist were photo-esque, stars or selected to be great cover material for magazines.

Here we have more or less normal people, behaving as people do. They were not perfect, and we got to know them as how they live and... work.

The acting from our main stars are amazing, and as a Swede I think the script and dialogue were spot on.

Scenery and locations were as it is, imperfect too. The location wasnt a polished office building, but more as a industry building - as it was in reality. Kudos to details!

Having it as a mini-serie, fantastic - if this had been a hollywood production with action and dramatized events with no back-story. No thanks.

This was simply put great!

You may know how the ending goes, as this was a famous story that actually happened. But watching it, I cannot help but be mesmerised with the characters and their motivations.

No glossy glamour of a heist like Oceans Eleven or Money Heist (Casa de Papel), this one is realistically portrayed. The characters are like regular people, like you and me, with challenges in life, and they're trying their best with what they have.

No superstar unblemished looks and perfect hairdo that make you wonder if you're watching a commercial.

It just so happens realistically that things go wrong, plans don't work, etc. But like me, I think you'd not only be well rewarded with an entertaining show, but gripped with suspense at every episode.

Phenomenally well done. Actors are beliavable, the score helps build the drams and anguish lead character feels. Being Swedish I remember this robbery well, it was quite the story in the media and kind of the end of the Yugoslavian mafia running Stockholms underworld.

WHY DOES A REVIEW HAVE TO BE 600 WORDS, EPISODE 1 WAS BETTER THAN EPISODE 2 WHICH WAS WORSE THAN EPISODE 4 BUT BETTTER THAN EPIOSDE7 WHICH IN TURN WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN EPISODE 3, BUT EPISODE 5 WAS BETTER THAN EPISODE 2 AND EPISODE 8 WAS TO PLACEMENT OVER 2. WHICH EPISODE WAS BEST ACCORDING TO ME - EIGHT HUNDRED CHARACTERS...

The actors are really good. I usually don't like to watch Swedish shows because of their bad acting but they have evolved and they really picked out right actors for this show. I didnt like that it was so dragged out. 5 or 6 episodes would have been enough. Some scenes felt a bit too repetetive. However, what I did enjoy was the depiction of the actors' feelings and fears. It felt real. When the heist scenes went on, I really felt the tension. The camera angles, the music.. it made everything look epic.

The actors' lines felt realistic too. Not too rehersed. You could really feel and see how their personalities changed from first to last episode. They became robbers. Criminals. They portrayed that flawlessly.
