I looked forward to see this movie. Hoever I was soon felt let down. Ulrich Thomsen is one of my favoirte actors is feels plays more confused than in character. The person playing assad is like a meaningless background character in the book is interesting and has humour. Assad in the moive adds nothing to the movie and is completely emotionless not even a camal joke. I guess the creators thught that humour was lame and did not want it. Rose in the book was also a bit wierd and interesting. In the movie is she is also very dull.

Without any spoilers the plot feels forced.

Also the sex scenes feels like they hold back go all in if you include it.

All in all I don't understand if Jussi Adler Olsen thought it was better to use those actors than Lie Kaas they had humour that could lift the story. But this is not the high standard it could be.

Movie has great actors, and it is shot beautifully.

So in theory it should be a great movie.

However it is long drawn out. There is no tension in the movie. Each time you think something is going to happen -nothing happens.

A movie I struggled to stay awake in movie theater.

Great actors but you could barely hear what they were saying because most actors were to lazy and speaking to fast. without subtitles it would have been impossible to hear what they saying. Movie could have been great with better scripting and training to speak.
