This movie is beautifully filmed with good locations, great lighting, well chosen locations, and more. Many of the actors play quite well, but the script leaves a lot to be desired.
The characters have depth, and that great, but the script is extremely depressive and there is zero humor to balance it out. I do not mind dark moods in a movie, but the themes in this movie are like a bottomless pit of sadness.
Overall, I would have rated this 6/10, but the film is extremely violent almost as if the writer is more interested in shocking the audience than to deliver a good story. And near the end, the script falls apart, the story looses realism and everything just stops making sense.

We're used to many good movies from Denmark, but if you believe all Danish movies are good, i can assure you and comfort you; they ren't!
There just as many stupid and awful Danish movies as in other countries, we just don't very often get to see them.
But now we have got such streaming offers like Netflix and Amazon Prime, so every little nasty and horrendous movie gets big distribution.
This movie has an OK script until you realize it's over the top stupid. The last part of the movie goes fast downhill. And you are left thinking WTF!?
You won't miss anything avoiding this, maybe just an annoyingly bad movie and - you'll also lose the faith that all Danish movies are good. Well, you were wrog.

Great cast and acting... I really liked the movie. Some great surprising scenes. I just wished, that the movie was longer. It was rather short time for exploring the plots, character development and story. Som3how shortened a little too much. Again, It was good as a movie, but I think it could have been GREAT as a series(Really Great), as there was so many unexplored opportunities. So if the director and producer reads this, then please make a series out of it. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the movie. It can be recommended to watch it, if you like serial killer stories/movies/series. Would have given a better score, than 7, if the movie was longer.
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.

"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.
