A very clever and insightful thriller, this decade's All The President's Men, though without Robert Redford. Brings new angles on the government conspiracy theme. No doubt will be remade as a big Hollywood Studio thriller but unlikely to improve on this thought provoking original. The writer was himself a former top government Spin Doctor. Since the film was released real life events have made the curious leap of imitating fiction in the USA and UK with high profile political scandals, suicides and leaked information. Part of a string of strong political thrillers in recent years including Syriana with George Clooney. Maybe he will be in the remake.

Not to be missed. I had read great reviews about this movie but I was surprised at how fantastic it was. Based on a simple plot, simple political mess, simple characters, this is a thrilling movie, with a thrilling story that rings true to today's Britain, Europe, the US and many countries in LA. I thought some of the performances were better than others, but all in all, a fantastic cast. Loved every minute of it. Don't miss this movie. I am sure they will make it into a Hollywood film with some hunky guy playing the leas (which misses the point) and Anthony Hopkins playing the wannabe prime minister. Don't miss this film before the Hollwywood machine ruins it

The Plot: A journalist uncovers a political conspiracy in the weeks before a general election. The Idea: The movie brings nothing new to the genre, except maybe for the fact that it's Danish, therefore the first(for me) European political thriller. The Feeling: It kinda seems like it has been cooked after the Hollywood recipe for suspense, but that's not so obvious as to kill the fun. A great movie to watch on a boring afternoon. The Actors: No comment The Quote: "Remember that photo from Sudan that got an award two years ago? A little girl in the sand, emaciated. Skin and bones. And right behind her there was a vulture, waiting to eat her."

This film is simply riveting from beginning to end. Right from the opening scene I found myself enthralled and could simply not take my eyes off the screen.I remember many years ago seeing " All the president's men " which was about two journalists successful attempts to uncover the truth about the Watergate scandal.This film is very much in the same genre and at least as good. It is clearly the best film I've seen this decade and I've seen some very good ones.The main star , Anders W Bertelsen is one of my absolute favourite actors. He was supported some some of Denmarks best actors.The script was excellent and the way the tension and uncertainty as to what was going to happen and what what going to be uncovered , was masterfully handled.
