Shorta

The movie suffers from a story that is just too far from reality to be believable. The main plot is interesting, but I really struggled to believe the characters and the details in the story. It tries to portray a somewhat political message without succeeding and it ends up just being too predictable.

Danish, mostly balanced, POV on police excessive force vs. Self protection. You're in a job that pays really well w/quick retirement, however each day you go to work not knowing if you'll be alive that evening. You see the worst of humanity in a continuous stream of encounters; you're trained to ignore yet you're still human; perhaps, at some point, we all will collapse under those stressors. Sometimes you encounter someone who's fifty pounds heavier; five inches taller; and verbally assertive while being physically non-compliant; they know what buttons to push & relish that taunting. They have little to lose; little education; no or poor job prospects; just hanging out; maybe some petty crimes to get by. You've seen this countless times on countless days & like all humans we want our jobs to be easy & safe so we react back in kind. Eventually, statistically, an accident (perhaps deadly) is bound to occur. Thus a storyline told around the world.

Feeling a but misled by the trailer that shows a very intense police hunt in a danish suburb. The movie also starts off like this, but the intensity quickly slows down and there is a lot of waiting, slow talking and the police officers just hiding from the riot. Great acting from the two police officers though and the directing and everything felt top notch.

Overall a pretty good police drama, with moments of action. We were two couples watching it together at home and fifty percent of us were sleeping half way in the movie.

Thumbs up. First og all great performance by everyone. And second the action is Way better this time for Danish Movie standards, and besides the Movie gets quite a few things right, such as cops Can be bad, and a Young man with Dark skin Can be harrassed, and the system is not flawless, and people do change when they come close to the reality, and some make mistakes and regrets Them. So glad that they showed these things from different angels, and Got Them spot on. Well done.

I am one of those who are pretty tired of fake reviews. No need to make fake reviews about this movie, it's a pretty good movie without the "over the top" reviews made by some random crew or what ever.

It's not Judge Dredd (as some said) and it's not pumping action from start till end (also said) but it's a good solid quality Danish movie. A bit of a gangster feel, but not much really. If this had been an American movie, it would have been just another typical cop movie. But being a Danish movie, it's not like that and it feels a bit deeper.

You can read all about what it's about, so skipping all that. I think it was a good pizza-weekend-movie and it wasn't boring. It had a good story and good acting all over. This is no big CGI movie, and more of a character and story building movie. A big relevant story these days. I believed in it.

I liked it, so did my buds. We agreed on it being entertaining enough and it kept us off the phone. But, one or two almost cracked. Just almost... There really isn't anything new about this movie, that we haven't seen before. But as I wrote over here, being Danish. it gave a different feel about it.

Worth checking out! Me and my friends ended up on a 7 out of 10
