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!

"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 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.

These comments are based on watching the film in Danish with English subtitles.

A middle-age man has to choose between his wife and his mistress and he gets in to way more trouble than just that, along the way.

This is an awesome Danish thriller (dubbed believably in English) with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. You think you know which direction the film is headed in, but trust me, you absolutely don't. Watch it if you like Hitchcock-type thrillers. The leads are great and the ending was perfect and unexpected in my opinion.

I hope Netflix can give us more of these types of films in the future as I thoroughly enjoyed this one and found it to be fast-paced and fun.

Good story and good actors. Nice nordic landscapes. I liked the story and the way it was framed with the detective telling it.

I remember the actor who plays the detective from Borgen and the actor that played Christian from Dicte 😊
