BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Bereamic Awesome Movie

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

EkaBlue This is very engrossing and while it is not a mystery as to the culprits, it keeps you on the edge to see if justice can be served and maybe with our own modern day TV viewing, looking for everything to fall neatly into place, and it doesn't. It shows what can happen in real life, how the community is affected, what the community thinks and wants as opposed to what is right/wrong. This is a great thriller,keeps you in the film all the way along and you can see sometimes in life, it's not always right that prevails. The atmosphere and setting really makes the film and while this landscape is foreign to me, it gave me a good feel for life there in terms of the film (I did look up the towns population which is small).It is realistic as you know it won't be some Hollywood perfect ending where everything is tied up into a nice neat bundle. Mind you, not Hong Kong genre either which always seems to end bad. Differences in endings across the Pacific I suppose!

marcus_fredriksson I dont know how many times i have seen this movie. Its so great. Its about a small society where everyone know each other and protect each other (in this case not a good thing). Its also about a will to do the right thing even if it will make you a loner and enemy to nearly everyone you know. And all this in a beautiful north of Sweden. This movie can be seen as a modern nordic Western movie.And eventhough someone wouldnt like the movie you can always listen to the beautiful movietheme who sets the sence of melancholy right from the start.

fred-83 Sundvall has a good ear for dialogue, and uses his locations to great effect. One main problem with contemporary Swedish movies is the wooden dialogue, which is largely avoided here. The story holds together well in the beginning, but the naturalism and believability Sundvall builds up completely vanishes towards the end, which is unfortunate and ultimately makes this a rather average movie. The script has some irritating holes, like the subplot with Lassgårds love interest which is mysteriously left unresolved. The last act is also a indication of the current "Americanization" of Swedish cinema which is a rather sad phenomenom. We should make movies on our own terms and be wary of too many american influences, those estethics tend to become overblown, predictable and unrealistic when translated into Swedish.

grisell Sundvall has made an intense movie about illegal hunting. It's loaded with tense and excitement. Actually, it's about people living in a desolated place, not wanting to play with the rules of the community. We haven't seen such an intense movie in Sweden for at least a decade.
