User Reviews

Great done Mikael!

I think this film is one of the best i ever seen. When you have seen it for the first time you have a lot of things to think about because the film really mention important things and facts about life. The film doesn't become boring when it is made in a car and that the main character is driving through the whole film. And that's because the plot is interesting and that the actors are very good. I like this film for two reasons: That the actors are really good and that the plot is very important and interesting. Mikael Persbrandt does one of his very best appearances in this film and he is really outstanding. It's very much worth seeing because if him. So i can really recommend you to go and see this film if you haven't done it yet. You won't become disappointed. So do your a favor. See it today!
