Why argue against other peoples taste? And even mock it? We have different experiences and background, which consequently makes us have a different relationship with the same movie. That simple. I enjoyed it - a lot. 8.2 is OK. Among other reasons because it has qualities way above so many other action movies. I loved the subtlety and silence in their relation. I loved his nervousness when confronted with imminent threats and danger. The movie had a simple, clean pure expression. Far above most other movies in the genre. The music was decent, Carey had an innocence well suited for her incorruptible protagonist, the cars had personality, just like the Volvo in "The World according to Garp." The camera, the photography had plenty of excellent moments. I loved it. BTW: My favorite directors are Bergman, Kieslowski and Altman.

Slightly boring and predictable, personally, I find the 3rd and 4th seasons to be better than season 1. Joe and Hoss travels to Spanish California to pay USD 10,000 (!) for a bull which Ben wants, As often in the early period, little Joe experiences entanglement with women (this time a Mexican senorita), which he has to duel himself out of, and Hoss' (1,91m tall) super-strengths comes well in hand when fighting a bear. Crooks is also attempting to part them with the purchase amount of the bull before arriving at the ranch in California, significant tension builds up.... Overall good old-fashioned excitement, but personally, I like later seasons better, as well as the iller fated High Chaparral from the same creator (1967), and the Big Valley with Barbara Stanwyck, Lee Majors and Linda Evans. Unfortunately, the American people had settled for Bonanza, the first cowboy-series in color, and were unwilling to see the unique qualities of especially HC. HC was filmed far more frequently on-location, the shooting in Old Tucson really did give HC an authentic western look and epic scale. Bonanza was a studio product to a greater degree during its 435 episodes, only out-gunned by Gunsmoke among the cowboy television shows. Anyhoo; great to see Adam, an important figure until he decided to leave in 1965 due to the series turning into "the little-Joe" hour in the mid-60's... And with Hoss' death in 1972, there were only two leading figures left at the time of termination, of which only Ben lived at Ponderosa, after Little Joe 's wife died (in the series). Adam (Pernell) - first man out - is today the only survivor from the show. Love some of the episodes, though...

Not a bad movie. I have not read any of Camilla Lackbergs books (I chose Johan Theorin when I had the choice good or bad), but was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this little flick was. They could have avoided to show (tell instead...) us a couple of brutal details, but the description of the scenic, beautiful little coastal town of Fjallbacka by Gothenburg is enjoyable, Hjulstrøm plays well as the main character police inspector Hedstrøm. Some of his colleagues are also well displayed, as with his pregnant girlfriend. However, I sincerely doubt that any policemen in the Western world are as incompetent as the commissioner and an older constable in the series - not only Predikanten, I sincerely do not hope so, and feel annoyed as some of the scenes with these two are experienced as unnecessary for the story itself. The plot is well thought out and depicted, although the incidental discovery at the end seemed awfully coincidental for the rest of the plot. But all in all, far better than feared, and is recommended for those that long for a nice, Scandinavian summer of 2011. That goes for Norwegians too.
