Standout Aspects

Acting

Jens Okking's unnerving stillness — you can't look away.

Direction

Hedegaard's clinical restraint makes the violence hit harder.

Best for:Solo: Late night, low lights, existential dread optional but likely.·Streaming: Rare 70s Danish thriller — you'll never find this in theatres.
Heads up:Violence: Shootings and assassinations, shot with disturbing detachment.·Disturbing: Political terrorism portrayed ambiguously — no easy answers.
