I went to see this movie with my girlfriend without having read the book (or any books from the author) before. Basically, I knew nothing about the characters and the story, which usually is a good thing. I won't reveal any details since it would ruin the movie.

The main characters are a father and daughter; the first a veteran cop and the other a newly graduated cop. Despite problems within the family, they must work together to solve a series of crimes, which all seem twisted and religious.

The character build-up was OK, and the first 3/4 of the movie was actually surprisingly good. The plot was quite good, with some nice twists. The end has some flaws which in my opinion brings the grade down a notch.

Conclusion: a better-than-average Swedish thriller with some suspenseful and thrilling parts, but with a so-so ending. Grade: 3.5/5.

I had high hopes for this flick considering it's high ratings, but it all came down to a slow, depressing comedy. Unfortunately, the pace never gets off. It's kind of a shame since it has a great cast that could make something much better than this. Maybe the script was bad, or just the directing? I don't know, I got so bored after a while I wasn't following it that much.

Despite my lack of excitement from this movie, it has some good moments, both fun and sad, but simply not enough to bear a whole movie. My verdict: 5/10
