Omerta 6/12

I usually like most of what comes out of the Norsk/Swede/Finsk movie scene but this was a complete disappointment, almost like it was made in the 1980's for viewers with a limited threshold for entertainment as it seems most of the reviews over a 5 are all one review shills once again

This movie has really bad acting from the main female lead; where do they dig these so called actors from? Presumably following the Hollywood tickbox agenda once again methinks; even the recent Black Crab movie beats this one and it was a bit of a stinker too, even though the fantastic Noomi Rapace headlined it but at least she can act, so it was not a total loss but this one will just waste an hour and a half of your time it was so bland and formulaic with some truly dreadfully bad fight scenes.

Add to this some really boring action scenes and a completely unfathomable ending just makes this movie a complete waste of time!

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.

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.

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.

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.
