Stockholm

Actually quite a good film as it's largely based on a true story and has historic psychological significance because of the relationship that developed between hostages and captors. Anyway with Noomi Rapace, Ethan Hawke and Mark Strong in it it couldn't be bad could it ?!

Quirky and amusing in places I thought it was worth seeing and don't really agree with the panning that some have given it on IMDb

From what I've read this retelling of the 1973 robbery/hostage taking of the Kreditbanken bank in Stockholm is fairly accurate, although, obviously dramatized for a movie. Seems that the hostages, to some extent, had more faith in their well being from the captors than from the government & police. Thus our first widely discussed incident of hostages having some sympathy w/their captors. Both robbers continued, in minor ways, their history of crime after either serving their time or court hearings. Amusingly well acted.

Writer and director Robert Budreau did a great job directing, but his writing needed more "oomph". Pacing was a little slow, and not much comedy - all of it pretty much shown in the trailer. The acting however, was outstanding, especially from Ethan Hawke and Noomi Rapace. Enjoyable film on how Stockholm Syndrome was recognized as a psychological diagnosis. A 7/10 from me.

I'm genuinely surprised that (as far as my internet research goes) this bizarre tale is roughly true. I liked the acting, direction and scripting. Although I can see why the way they handle the comedic aspects would put some off. Aren't humans weird!

The basic virtues are the performances of Noomi Rapace and Ethan Hawke. And the wise way to say an absurde, ridicule real story in fair manner. A film about love in different manners and with a lot of nuances. And, off course, a film about loneliness. A good one, no doubts and a smart definition of the Stockholm syndrome.
