Not thanks to anyone else but her own skills to act against herself, Noomi Rapace single-handedly carries What Happened to Monday from start to finish, in seven roles that each gets a moment to make them alive. She holds the attention when the script and fellow actors don't have much to contribute, and when the surprisingly violent action takes off, she doesn't hold back anything. Half the score goes to her performance alone.
Least memorable are the quickly setup one-child dystopia and the expected thugs and their masters who maintain the uninspired system. Glenn Close does what Glenn Close has done many times, and yet another movie fails to make up its mind is she really evil or profoundly right. It would have made a better movie had they scrapped the poorly drafted political storyline altogether and concentrated on Rapace's low-level survival. Every movie needs not save the mankind.
