Really good to watch. had to download the end from the internet just so I could watch it (bloody SBS programming!)
From the SBS Filmsite:
Starting a new job as a political journalist at a leading newspaper, Ulrik Torp (Anders W. Berthelsen) witnesses a brutal struggle for power in the Midparty's ranks – a struggle that coincides with the party's charismatic leader's involvement in a near fatal car accident. A flurry of lies and media speculation surround the incident. Gradually, Ulrik unearths a ruthless conspiracy involving the incumbent prime minister and becomes obsessed with bringing the truth into the light. But neither his colleagues nor the politicians are willing to listen to him, and as election day draws near, Ulrik finds himself alone, battling against the powers that be.
Story 8.5/10 great plot, great character development, a fun "heist" like ending, but realistic and believable.
Photography: 8/10 well it's copenhagen, lots of grey (and I mean LOTS) but used well, some of the contrast in some night scenes isn't awesome but otherwise it's nordic!!
