This movie is hot garbage. Like someone else already said, it seems like this was written by an AI fed with the plot from every single American made-for-TV thriller / crime drama. Clichès stand in line and the plot is so predictable, that the only thing getting killed off in this movie that you actually care about, is suspense.
The script is beyond bad, and admittedly the actors don't have a lot to work with. That does not however excuse the excruciatingly bad performance of each and every person on screen. Lines are delivered with the intensity of a wooden log, and every single scene gives the impression that this was shot in week by film school students. All, but a few of the actors in the movie have performed at a much higher level in other movies. I'm guessing this was for the paycheck rather than the CV.
It really grinds my gears that something like this is even remotely associated with Danish movie making. Whoever is behind this pile of stink, should feel bad. Like really bad to the point that a public apology is in order.
Avoid at all cost, if you value the precious time you have on this planet.
Spoiler: There are tons of questionable things when it comes to the script, but the ending has to taken the cake. How on earth, did the mother of Ludwig, manage to kidnap no less than three adults, tie them up and bring them back to the home for young women, leave them to go get Laura, come back and have them all still be there?... absolutely unbelievable. Also, the killing of detective Jesper's wife was purely for shock effect. Considering the rest of the plot it made absolutely no sense. And why would Laura shoot herself in the stomach, when she could've just reached around and shot crazy lady directly. So many questions.
