    Very good...
    "438 Days" is a Drama - Thriller movie in which we watch two Swedish journalists Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson getting caught in Ethiopia after they illegally crossing their boarders. Their research of the affect of oil in the population of Ethiopia makes things more difficult for them.

    I enjoyed this movie because it had an interesting plot and it was based on a real story. The direction which was made by Jesper Ganslandt was very good and he succeeded on presenting both the plot and his main characters very well something that helped the audience a lot. The interpretations of both Gustaf Skarsgård who played as Martin Schibbye and Matias Varela who played as Johan Persson were very good and their combination worked very well. To sum up, I have to say that "438 Days" is a nice movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it especially those who love movies that are based on real events.
