User Reviews

This movie is a different narration from what we are used to in many other revenge stories. It takes us to a level of reality. It does not try to make us excited or to use our feeling to bring the story forward. Mads Mikkelsen does not manipulate the audience by a sudden turn of the character. He is a businessman, and the only reason for his actions is that he could not get justice through the legal procedures. He did not want to be a hero, but he could not stand injustice. The fight scenes are brutal and far away from the heroic fight scenes. Those that we see in action movies and feel energetic to watch. Even the dialogues are not trying to be extraordinary. They are simple conversations. A simple narration can affect the audience more than exaggerated scenes in an action movie.
