His brother was bad@$$ but underutilized


Mikael Persbrandt was a pure badass (even more so than Mads' character) as Peter.

Some spoilers are ahead.

The guy didn't talk much but when he did he was pretty menacing. His character carried an aura of badassery about him, but hot snaps did he get taken out in the gayest way imaginable.

Not only was he killed of-fscreen but we didn't even get to see how he was killed. What's more is that he failed to kill any of Delaruse's men. It was like, WTF happened? Did he not try to ambush them? Did he not try to setup any kind of trap? Why didn't he just carry his brother some place else so they could get healed up and then strike back?

This movie would have been at least 25% more enjoyable had Peter lived long enough to help his brother get revenge, and then died during the final shootout.

This was a frustrating movie to watch because it had a ton of poorly utilized potential after getting off to a hot start.
