Where to I start.
Plot-The plot was overly complicated and dubious that I am not sure what was going on, why it was happening, to who it involved and finally not caring anymore.
Stupid villians-One person with a handgun vs six highly trained black ops with high-tech automatic weapons which they already had pointed. Want to guess who won? Yeah, we got those types of scenes.
Who shooting who-At one point the villians and 'police' was dressed the same, so when the shootout started, you could not tell who was being shot. Bad oversight committed by the director.
Subtitles- Either subtitle the entire move, or dub the movie, please pick one. Here the movie was almost 50-50 with dubbing then switching to Finnish, Russian, French and English. It was very confusing expecially if you were not watching the screen every second.

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.

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.
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.

Being a Scandinavian I try to watch the Scandinavian movies out there, but I seriously had a hard time not turning this one off quite a few times.
Inexperienced actors, silly gunhandling, stereotypic plot and the pace is so slow it should neither be considered action, nor a thriller.
There are some seriously dumb scenes in this movie, and I won't spoil them, but I wonder if the producer was out on his coffe break when those scenes were recorded.
There are som scenic shots of Stockholm, but that's about it.
There are way better Scandinavian movies out there so I'd recommend chosing another movie to watch.
