Featured reviews
This Danish crime drama is told in flashback as a policeman talks to his daughter about a case he was unable to solve but is convinced he knows what happened. A woman is knocked down and killed by a hit and run driver. We then see, a few days earlier, married couple Christian and Leonora having an argument; he doesn't want her to see a text message he received in the middle of the night... understandable given that it is from his lover. When she finds out he is ordered out of the house and told that she intends to report a financial crime he committed some time before. He determines to kill her.
I really enjoyed this film. It provides plenty of twists and turns and for much of the time I was unsure whether we are being shown what actually happened or merely the policeman's theory; this added to the intrigue for me. Right up until the end credits began I had no real idea how it would end. There is a good sense of danger and some, but not an excessive, amount of violence. The cast is impressive; most obviously Dar Salim and Sonja Richter as Christian and Leonora respectively. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of psychological dramas.

WOWWWW!!!! Much better than I expected, perhaps predicted for some, but not for me. I'm not a fan of stories of jealousy and divorce, like soap operas. But none of that, it's very exciting, psychopathic, psychological and terrifying. The two main actors are fantastic! The tension feels raw. The combination of images from start to finish is fantastic, and the story goes from simple to very complicated and scary very quickly. Two selfish psychopaths in a more than vicious circle. This movie blew me away. Don't miss it, and be careful if you don't like horror and creepy stories.
Excellent and terrifying.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to deceive." A frustrated middle-aged married man has an affair with a younger colleague from work. One night, he receives a text message in bed. His wife suspects something. The man attempts to resolve the matter. One of them fails and the other does not. This Danish mystery thriller has more twists than a Hitchcockian turnstile. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Needless to say, this viewer was kept in the dark until the very end, and then he still wasn't sure. But was it really the end? Only some of the characters will ever possibly know.
This is a crime drama movie based on a book of the same Danish name (English: Till Death Do Us Apart, I think)
Very short runtime @ 1hr44m, watch this if you're in the mood for something different. I can name a similar 2014 crime/mystery thriller that you'd have watched, but if I name it to convince you to watch it, it might give the plot away.
The story revolves around a couple who, seemingly, have the perfect life until trust, morals, fidelity, etc. Are questioned. While it's not mindblowing, it's surely worth a one-time watch and there will be a couple diversions that you may not see coming.
Great cinematography (oooo, this movie looks amazing!) and sound design add to the value. Scores are underrating the film, so ignore them, and give it a shot.

As others have said, good plot with unexpected twists. Middle aged businessman with a baggage of some financial cheating falls for his young associate who demands that he chooses between her and his family. Pretty standard set-up, but what follows is far from what you expect. Murders, blackmail and dark secrets from the past . The script sometimes feels strectched, but hey, its a movie!, keeps it it interesting, makes you wonder hwat happens next!!
I think the surprise ending would be fine as it is IF the characters (or at least one of them) were a bit more likable.
Regardless, a worthwhile film to watch, keeps you guessing to the end!
