Some reviewers have noted that the start was great and the end so long and drawn out with nothing happening.
That is part of the genius of the film! We start off with breathtaking Norwegian scenery, fumbling local cops, and begin to understand what is happening. It helps to know what happened at Utøja in Norway in 2011 in order to understand the motivation.
We cut to boooooring German landscapes, the chaos of Berlin, and dive deeply into the inner workings (or rather, dysfuncationality) of German officials. That is what makes it so believable, and scary.
The acting is great! Ine Marie Wilmann can talk with her eyes, Christian Berkel does a very believable move from arrogant minister to human back to arrogant minister. Some of the others are a bit two-dimensional, but they fit so nicely into Norwegian and German stereotypes.
Another Scandinavian Noir gem. And unfortunately, too believable. No more, don't want to spoil. See it.
