Insondable

I just started watching it, looked interesting, this guy built his own sub etc. Etc... I had NO IDEA that it was going to go the way it went. I'd never heard of this story before, so it was sort of a surprise to me, which was good.

Seemed a lot like a very self assured man and the people who congregate around him to be part of it all and help. OK, so that' exactly what it was - except turns out he's a psychopathic narcissist who just wants to kill a woman or something in his sub! Sorry if there are spoilers but the description on the page says all that also.

What got me was the people around him and how shocked they were and -- you know, how could you not know something was wrong with your "friend"?? It makes it all the more harrowing to realize that these people walk amongst us and that you could KNOW someone and not know them at all, and they are like this guy. So, it was interesting to me as I had no idea about the case nor what the doc was about, didn't even notice the tag line til later. LOL Interesting. TRULY scary. Real life horror.

This is not the first time that I see a crime show or documentary about the "submarine murder" done by Peter Madsen.

The dramatization in the 5-part "The Investigation", made me first aware of the events that happened. And I should say that it is far superior to this documentary that is just released by Netflix.

This documentary misses a lot of the events that were instrumental in the complete story. Events like either the extremely difficult task to lift the boat from the seabed or the mindboggling search for the body-parts using blood hounds from another country were not even covered in this documentary. And it is exactly these unlikely events that make this murder case unique.

I therefore recommend that you instead watch the above-mentioned crime show "The Investigation". You will be way more informed of what really happened.

All-in-all, I could therefore not really be surprised by this newly released documentary on Netflix. Although it is a decent documentary, I got the impression that during the last 30 minutes much "filler-material" was used to get to a 1.5 hour target duration. Especially the scenes of a woman with curly red hair - a volunteer that worked for Madsen - were totally out-of-place. She was suggesting that it must have been her that was the original target of Madsen, thereby putting all focus on herself instead of the real victim. I found that a bit disrespectful.

I should note that this documentary peeked my interest more towards the space-race between Madsen's rocket company and the neigbouring "Copenhagen Suborbitals". The story between those two companies was the most interesting of the complete documentary.

In the end I would rate this documentary with 5.6 stars, which I round up to 6 stars.

This documentary is about the people around peter madsen and how they react to the murder. It's very interesting seeing people trying to just figure themselves out about how could I be together with a person who was this awful, but they didn't know. It kind of a awesome documentary on that level.

You can see the intens reaction ,the bargaining the not believing it. I think it's an awesome documentary on that level on a technical level does not really special things happening, but it's just an awesome thing that this documentary was made in the middle of it happening and they didn't even know it was gonna become a murder documentary

Peter Madsen an interesting character because we can't see how he's kind of weird, but it's only in hindsight that it becomes terrifying.

It is on Netflix and it's totally worth a watch.

I'd never heard of this incident before, but had the film recommended to me so I went in blind, without reading reviews or searching for the story on the web.

But it turns out there was no need for me to do that at all: there *was* no mystery; the murder of the title is solved in the first 15 minutes, and then it's all just interviews and flashbacks to previous interviews that don't increase our understanding or add anything meaningful or new. There is no progression from one point to anywhere else, so it's actually all just very repetitive and boring.

On top of that, there just seems to be something *off* about the people involved: if someone had told me it was a mockumentary (or part mockumentary), I would have believed them, because everyone's talking seems stilted and... rehearsed? I don't know if that's because most of the people are Danish and so needed to clarify and self-translate their own thoughts into English before speaking, but it really reminded me of the 'Catfish' film from years ago, in which some parts had to have been recreated and acted out after the fact.

Something feels false, anyway, and we never get beneath the surface of anyone in the film, or ever feel that we've gotten to the heart of anything important and true, so the final judgement has to be that this is an interesting murder case turned into a very dull, amateurishly-made and largely pointless documentary.

This is a chilling exposé of a sociopath at work. In every frame of this absorbing documentary you cannot help but question the real motives of everything Peter Madsen says and does. Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing and you really feel empathy for the cast of characters caught up in his web of deceit.

The producers and director do a great job weaving the characters (effectively innocent bystanders) to the main plot. The director also manages to ratchet up the tension as we get nearer and nearer to the already known, but still feared, denouement.

This is a great piece of documentary work by the same producers who gave us the equally absorbing Amanda Knox story.
