BEYOND THE CRIME, BEYOND THE COVER-UP, LIES A DEADLY TRUTH.
After an incident that leaves his partner and friend fighting for his life in hospital, Copenhagen cop Christian Toft (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is trying to find the man responsible. Brian De Palma had a reportedly miserable experience working in Denmark and this mediocre thriller didnāt satisfy anyone. There are moments when his touch is evident, as in a roof-top chase early in the film and the climax in a bullfighting arena in AlmerĆa. But not even those Hitchcock-flavored moments bring life to a dreary story about international terrorism.
