Les Enquêtes du département V: L'effet papillon

Saw the first films with Nikolaj-Lie Kaas as inspector Mørck and Fares Fares as Assad.

It could work with Mørck (Played by Ulrich Thomsen) being rude, having no empathy and hellbound on solving the case no matter whos toes he treads upon. But when the rest of the crew around him acts more or less in the same fashion it simply gets boring and uninteresting. Where Assad were much more involved, and a individual character in the first films, he is reduced to a weak voice in the background and a boring sidekick.

Rosa is also tuned dowfrom a strong and independent woman in the first films, to an uninteresting and forgettable supporting role.

The plot is obvius and you have to struggle not to doze off while you see it.

If you have not seen the first films, go check them out and give this one a wide berth.

They completely ruined the franchise with this recasting. So sad, was the most promising Danish movie franchise we've seen I a long time.

This is what happens when authors start to take control of movie sets!!!

One thing is that all the actors has been changed, but they still carry the same names. That will make anyone compare... Another thing is that the other stories in the series are quite gruesome.

This story falls flat, and there is not anything gruesome to be told!

It feels like water, where the other movies in the series feels like whiskey.

It should have been a movie on its own. This will never be a part of the other movies in the series.

I made the mistake to rewatch the older ones in this series leading up to the premiere of the newest installment, only to confirm how much better the old ones are, and how boring and disappointing this new one is.

They should have made it with the old cast that we have come to love and associate with this series, or have not made it at all........well, at least make it as an individual movie with no relations to the others.

I remember when my friend asked me 2/3 into this movie "what is it about, is there a story/plot here?", and I couldn't agree more.

Long and slow paced "story" with plot holes and then a rapid ending out of nowhere with the audience left with plenty to desire.

I'm really good at lowering my expectations, but this one didn't deliver at all.

Previous 4 movies are masterpieces. What happen to this movie. I was really disappointed. Remake this please. Worst movie of Department Q movie series.
