I was so impressed with the first movie and it has always been an impatient wait until the next instalment. I just love how the Danish can come up with such quirky characters. Sometimes the character put you off because they are so different but as time goes by you grow to love them and it is amazing how the subtle acting can convey so many emotions if you look out for them.
I would be very sad if this was the last we see of these quirky characters.
I just hope there will not be an English language version remake!!!
This fourth movie in the Department Q series is the best one so far in my opinion. It was also the first of the films I saw without having read the book first. Hence my higher rating? Maybe. Anyway, it's a good and thrilling movie with some unexpected twists and a story inspired by true and horrific events.
If you haven't seen the previous episodes, I strongly suggest you do. It explains the bound between the two protagonists. Once again Department Q delivers an emotional and strongly written police adventure. By now it's hard to imagine a movie in these series without the constant switch between past and present. It's an interesting way to uncover the timeline and the motives of each character. It just works really well. Is it the best one in these series? Probably not. But it's still worth your time, even if you haven't seen the previous three films. I hope there will be more of these.
The 'Department Q' series is one the best of its type that I have had the pleasure to watch. Why has it taken so long for this the 4th instalment to be released. Now it seems the series has come to an end which is a great pity. 10/10 for each epsiode and the whole series. Danish film making at its superbist!
As usual it's well acted, directed and atmospheric, but for being the darkest (there is truth loosely in the story) it is also the weakest. The problem is a couple of very daft scenes that really do detract, however it's still better than most movies based on novels. Carl and Assad are one of the best partnerships on screen and you do feel for how they have evolved. Pity this seems to be the final in the series.
