"Please write movie script. It has to have to following present:
-grieving protagonist who's trying to solve a case, so there's both inner and outer conflict
-a killer who films his acts, Make him a hacker also, to confuse the police. -some tech talk thrown in to add credibility
-a sidekick (Roland Moller) who's there just to ask questions on behalf of the audience, so no one gets confused"
Voila... and there you have it. A script without any soul. And actors completely wasted. I have never seen Roland Moller - who's usually good at playing at villain - deliver such an uninspiring performance.

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.

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.

Keep in mind, I am in no way a professional film critic. The other reviews mention bad acting but I don't think the acting is bad, the ending has the best acting in my opinion. The script/dialogue is a bit boring, but I guess it's realistic. The ending is confusing and unrealistic and a bit anticlimactic, and left me feeling cheated. I don't think it could have happened in real life in any way, and the aftermath of the scene is not mentioned or shown. The overall storyline and plot is nothing special. Visually and lighting wise it is a beautiful film. Overall I did enjoy it but I will not be rewatching it.
The actors perform their roles perfectly, but they have nothing to perform: all the characters are devoid of character and represent ordinary people, the director does not reveal them. There is no conflict, the heroine's family problems are almost invisible. The film is a small work without any special plot twists, which does not arouse interest.
There is nothing in the picture except the presence of a maniac and well-shot scenes. Hallucinations of the main character are rare and do not carry an explicit meaning.
The film does not evoke an emotional response from the viewer, except, perhaps, the desire to finish watching it.
There are authors who, being ignorant, create films that evoke various emotions in the audience, but this film does not make any emotional impression - it's a waste of time! I don't remember a single movie that didn't have real feelings!
I couldn't watch this movie to the end.
