This keeps you guessing from start to finish and you simply just don’t know the motivation Clas has for his action, as it could be a range of reasons. Story – The story here comes from what looks like a basic heist movie before taking a turn into a cat and mouse chase across the country for survival. When you look at the performances Hennie and Coster-Waldau are both fantastic in these roles with Hennie having the desperate but confident look with Coster-Waldau looking deadly from the moment you first meet him. Clas is a great ruthless killer that has plenty of secrets behind his action.
