Omerta 6/12

This was horribly directed and written, with a sloppy, bloated, incohesive and convoluted screenplay. Literally the entire two hour runtime could've been cut down to a 20 min short film and you would miss absolutely nothing. After about 20 mins, we were all struggling to stay awake and/or started playing with our phones. This film is 90% filler and 10% substance. There's a lot of nothing happening, and it's just repetitive and boring. I'm pretty sure the same scene of a helicopter flying into the city was copy and pasted multiple times. Was this bloated sloth even edited? The pacing was ridiculously slow and dragged out, just like pretty much every scene. It' a shame, because the cinematography was amazing, and the performances convincing for the most part. I just wish there was a real story here with some reason to care about the characters or the plot.

Being a Scandinavian I try to watch the Scandinavian movies out there, but I seriously had a hard time not turning this one off quite a few times.

Inexperienced actors, silly gunhandling, stereotypic plot and the pace is so slow it should neither be considered action, nor a thriller.

There are some seriously dumb scenes in this movie, and I won't spoil them, but I wonder if the producer was out on his coffe break when those scenes were recorded.

There are som scenic shots of Stockholm, but that's about it.

There are way better Scandinavian movies out there so I'd recommend chosing another movie to watch.

Where to I start.

Plot-The plot was overly complicated and dubious that I am not sure what was going on, why it was happening, to who it involved and finally not caring anymore.

Stupid villians-One person with a handgun vs six highly trained black ops with high-tech automatic weapons which they already had pointed. Want to guess who won? Yeah, we got those types of scenes.

Who shooting who-At one point the villians and 'police' was dressed the same, so when the shootout started, you could not tell who was being shot. Bad oversight committed by the director.

Subtitles- Either subtitle the entire move, or dub the movie, please pick one. Here the movie was almost 50-50 with dubbing then switching to Finnish, Russian, French and English. It was very confusing expecially if you were not watching the screen every second.

This kind of films with these scripts just thinking its made by kids' 7 years old.

Just a package of rubbish, for a real fan of movies' it's a torture to watch.

If you love yourself a little bit, avoid this garbage.

I usually like most of what comes out of the Norsk/Swede/Finsk movie scene but this was a complete disappointment, almost like it was made in the 1980's for viewers with a limited threshold for entertainment as it seems most of the reviews over a 5 are all one review shills once again

This movie has really bad acting from the main female lead; where do they dig these so called actors from? Presumably following the Hollywood tickbox agenda once again methinks; even the recent Black Crab movie beats this one and it was a bit of a stinker too, even though the fantastic Noomi Rapace headlined it but at least she can act, so it was not a total loss but this one will just waste an hour and a half of your time it was so bland and formulaic with some truly dreadfully bad fight scenes.

Add to this some really boring action scenes and a completely unfathomable ending just makes this movie a complete waste of time!
