We're used to many good movies from Denmark, but if you believe all Danish movies are good, i can assure you and comfort you; they ren't!

There just as many stupid and awful Danish movies as in other countries, we just don't very often get to see them.

But now we have got such streaming offers like Netflix and Amazon Prime, so every little nasty and horrendous movie gets big distribution.

This movie has an OK script until you realize it's over the top stupid. The last part of the movie goes fast downhill. And you are left thinking WTF!?

You won't miss anything avoiding this, maybe just an annoyingly bad movie and - you'll also lose the faith that all Danish movies are good. Well, you were wrog.

Terrible, unrealistic story. So full of IT mistakes, and seems to desperately cram every possible tech word into the scenes.

We ended up laughing in some of the scenes due to this. I'm sure that's not the intention of the film makers.

Unprofessional police behaviour. Basic police investigation skipped.

It is clear for everyone the main character has issues, and should not come back to work. Yet, her colleague and boss both accept her zoning out and also break the law with hacking into systems illegally.

Very disappointing, where Danish thrillers normally is very smart and clever - this just fails on every level.

This movie is beautifully filmed with good locations, great lighting, well chosen locations, and more. Many of the actors play quite well, but the script leaves a lot to be desired.

The characters have depth, and that great, but the script is extremely depressive and there is zero humor to balance it out. I do not mind dark moods in a movie, but the themes in this movie are like a bottomless pit of sadness.

Overall, I would have rated this 6/10, but the film is extremely violent almost as if the writer is more interested in shocking the audience than to deliver a good story. And near the end, the script falls apart, the story looses realism and everything just stops making sense.

No pun intended - the movie starts off quite strong .. and shows from the start this is not for the faint of heart! So if you are sensitive, if you are not able to stomach, not just violence shown with blood, but with ferocity ... maybe this movie is not for you. There is a lot going on and I reckon it does show the depths a "misguided" human can fall into.

And yes I know I am being nice with my description. And I am not the parent of the individual - how would I react if I were? Well I know I would try everything to help the victims, because however much you may say blood is thicker than water ... we are all humans. We all are someones son or daughter. Why do I say this and make a point of it? Well you will understand if you watch the movie.

Unfortunately the police seem to have missed that point. You would have assumed that if someone knows of the existence of a killer, you would not let them ... well you would at least have them under surveillance ... the very least. So suspend your disbelief ... and don't be shocked ... actually you very likely will be shocked! No prisoners taken ...

WOW what a bad movie! We had only seen a few minutes, when the acting (or lack of) began to stand out like a sour thumb.

Apparently the lead character (Julie Ølgaard) act, direct , produce and write this film. I think she most definitely should have given some of those tasks to other, more competent people.

The acting is beyond poor, even with a cast where i KNOW that several of the actors are seasoned, and normally good actors, that fail miserably in this story.

All the plotpoints are clichees, that we have seen in countless other (and quite better films).

There are no suspense and as a viewer you dont relate to any of the characters. I would higly recommend you skip this film as i frankly think it is a waste of time.
