    A brilliant film
    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.
