“This is probably the best film ever made in Sweden. It is unsurpassed in its effectiveness, from the performances, the 70u0026#39;s style semidocumentary storytelling and the editing. It owes a lot to the american masterpieces of that era like French Connection and The Seven-Ups. These types of gritty real police thrillers are a lost art, I wish someone wouldu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ereinvent them soon.”
