Exit – Lauf um dein Leben (2006)

Exit – Lauf um dein Leben: Directed by Peter Lindmark. With Mads Mikkelsen, Alexander Skarsgård, Samuel Fröler, Kirsti Eline Torhaug. There is a thin line between money and loyalty. Thomas Skepphult runs an investment company, and is arrested for the murder of his business partner when his fingerprint is found on the murder weapon. When he tries to call his lawyer, the phone is answered by someone who he thought had committed suicide years ago.

“Just as Thomas (Mads Mikkelsen) is about to step into the limelight of corporate leadership, a ghost from his past comes back to haunt him. Before he knows whatu0026#39;s happening, people around him drop like flies and he finds himself at the hand of mysterious blackmailers. You can tell this movie is based on a novel (by Jesper Kärrbrink), and in a bad way. There are just too many loose ends for a feature-length exposition. Behind layers of deception and betrayal, there is nothing but more layers yet. I found it hard even to keep track of the players, both individual and institutional, as Thomas is caught in a circle of rising stakes and increasing violence. Go see it if you liked u0026quot;The Firmu0026quot; or Michael Almereydau0026#39;s u0026quot;Hamletu0026quot;.”
