A better adaptation of the novel than the first movie, Täcknamn Coq Rouge (1989), but it still has the issue of feeling rushed. The story is simplified which works better with this novel than the last one, but it's still lacking tension.

This movie is okay entertainment, but I think Peter Haber is much better in the role as Hamilton than Stellan Skarsgård. Haber can be seen in the TV mini-series, "Enemy's Enemy" for instance. Peter Stormare might also be a better Hamilton (see Harald Zwart's "Hamilton"). I gave this movie 6/10, OK entertainment, but nothing more. Watch one of the other Hamilton films (if you already have, you'll probably like this one about as well as I did), or even better: Read one of the books! ;)

This is Carl Hamilton at his best. It may not be Stellan Skarsgård at his best (comparing with movies like Breaking the Waves), but he's doing a good job here too. I would actually say that Stellan Skarsgård IS Carl Hamilton, in more or less the same way as Sean Connery IS James Bond. None of the other actors playing him in the later movies quite reaches his level - they are, of course, also working with scripts not even half as good as this one.

The movie in itself explores the difficult feelings of an agent infiltrating and more or less becoming part of a terrorist organisation. Their methods may be ugly, yes even horrible. But the purpose of their actions? It's action with a nice enough twist, making it entertaining AND interesting.
