Attack on Finland

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!

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.

So the first part of the movie gave me a bad taste that continued throughout.

Terrible tactics from the beginning result in unnecessary casualties that pretty much lay the ground work for Amateur hour.

If there's any shred of truth to this, you'll know why the UN is referred to as Useless Neighbors.

Nonsensical plot simply made in the essence of the current political backdrop to point to more Russian Collusion.

We all know how that worked out in the US.

I can't recommend such garbage knowing there's an underlying agenda here. Gone are the days of movies simply being entertaining without the constant attempts at brainwashing our naive youth. Sad but true, hard pass on this one.

It's funny when people read a good book they immediately think this would make a great movie. This is not a good movie

Lead actor plays the part of no nonsense Finnish tough guy. Which fits Pääkkönen rather well.

Seems that direction and production were too busy dreaming their vacation during the filming so results is a poor Hollywood ripoff.

It is clear that this is made for Finnish audience only with cameos from news readers and other people who very few foreigners know.

This means more for the fans of Ilkka Remes and Finns who might have wished for this to be their own super cop series as Remes has made at least 15 book that continue this story in a alternative Finland with various characters.

This was watchable . . . I guess. There was a lot of filler material with long boring shots that went nowhere. Disparate parts of the plot never crystalized and action scenes tended to be either flat or overblown. I could not tell if part of the movie was filmed in English, or if the English was dubbed in later. I watch everything with subtitles turned on anyway. It's too late for the politics of the plot to be relevant, so I wasn't watching to see that play out. Even so, I expected for a conspiracy to revealed up into the highest realms of the government . . . But in the end, it just all fizzled out.
