I kind of liked some of the ideas of this movie.

However it utterly fails in my book because of all the Christian propaganda.

The movie is filled with it.

It doesn't add anything to the story itself but rather destroys it. I mean the idea is good enough. The actors likewise. The budget large enough to make a convincing movie. It could have been a nice one without all the unnecessary Christian messages all over the place.

So I'll have to say the movie was awful.

Don't watch it if you're not a Christian. It will just annoy you.

I haven't seen the Swedish adaption nor read the book, so I can't compare anything. Just watched the movie like I watch any other movie not expecting too much given than 99% of all movies suck IMO.

But this one surely didn't. The story is truly captivating right from the beginning. Most of the actors play their parts superbly. And the atmosphere is indeed quite Swedish despite being spoken in English. Although I personally prefer movies to be spoken in the language that the characters are supposed to speak (in this case Swedish).

Not gonna give a resume nor analyze the thing. Just wanted to say that I was amazed. I had to see it a 2nd time the next day. Something that happens very very rarely to me :D
