Fantastic first two thirds...amateur director took over the rest?


The first 70 or so minutes could may as well have been directed by Hitchcook. Excellently shot, edited, etc.

I somehow liked Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in this movie, but the acting in the last 30 mins was amateurish.

The way it was revealed the inspector was the necrophile previous night guard was ridiculous.

The scene where the girl is trapped with the inspector and she screams for Martin through the window was, again, amateurish.


Still, overall it was a very enjoyable movie and worth my time. Se där, danskjävlar kan visst göra film. :D

Danes in 1994? What can I say? A Dane

My thoughts exactly. The study of fear in the scene of Coster-Waldau's character's first night in ''office'' was remarkable and got my hopes up, I though I was going to be blown away by this. Last third or so really didn't live up to the expectation.
