This Guldbagge winning feature is definitely a standout in the tradition of Swedish police films, and Kjell Sundvall can proudly put his feature alongside other incredible films such as The Man on the Roof or The Man from Mallorca. Or even his own later iconic features.

The script is ever tight and suspenseful, perfectly paced and very exciting. It is beautifully cut and editing, featuring some great action scenes, as well as lots of heatfelt and well-written drama.

The actors, all of them great iconcs in the Swedish filmography, all do an incredible and career defining job. All of this accompined by the ever great script, of course.

Overall, truly an incredible film that stands out in the Swedish filmography to a great deal, with is my no means a faint praise, given the land's expertise.

Very much recommended for any lover of film, and the crime genre!

A cool criminal movie. Little action, but the suggestive music and the exquisite casting makes this a film worth seeing. Stefan Sauk makes a wonderful portrait of a cop with no emotions, just wanting to cleanse the town from mob. There are a few intense scenes, for instance when Stefan points a stolen revolver at the head of a suspect, and it accidentally goes off. At the end, the film changes from being a display of police violence towards a film about the police fabricating evidence to convict a (all too obvious criminal).
