This is wonderful modern film noir and somewhat of a rarity in Scandinavian cinema. Don't get me wrong, I love Scandinavian movies and believe they form an important part of European film making. But I particularly like it because of it's sober style and realistic topic's. This however is a different animal. A case of (mis)taken identity that turns into a delirious nightmare which masterfully unfolds in the shape of flashbacks and recovering memory loss. Lot's of style, beautiful lighting and cinematography.
Once again, flawless acting from the whole cast. A very intense role from Danish favorite Nicolaj Lie Kaas, perfectly countered by everyday man Jonas played by Anders W. Berthelsen.
I will not reveal the storyline as with all noirs it should be experienced and revealed as the beautiful puzzle it is. Only other film that comes to mind is "Vanilla Sky" which is of course a complete remake of the superior "Abre Los Ojos". And I'm actually amazed this hasn't been remade. So before they do decide to do so, check it out and experience it yourself 8/10
