Synopsis: Mikael (Coster-Waldau) is an explosives expert who has one foot in prison due to bank robbery and one foot in the witness protection programme. Now he’s in a hotel room with police to prepare his testimony against his accomplices. He gave three conditions to talk about the robbery. Step by step a plan becomes visible.
Review: The movie is a perfect entertainment. Action with the attack by the Serbian maffia, romance in front and in the back of the police, thriller with all the events that happen, the phone calls and the obviously expected mistakes leading to the expected final. An intelligent bad guy, a police team with weaknesses and a sexy ex-girlfriend. The casting fits to the role even if the roles could have been more interesting. But the tension is coming from the unicity of location and the almost in camera hearing. The directing masters the action in the style and pace of the 90s without too fast cuts.  But the movie may not remain that long as it does not bring much originality even if it is efficiently written by Jens Dahl.
Rating: 5 /10
