“Itu0026#39;s important to note, when looking at the reviews and comments on this movie, that nearly all of them were written more than a decade ago. At the time, news media and the entertainment industry were just waking up to the new crime waves from Eastern Europe, and speculations and predictions were wildly out of proportion. This movie is a good example of that, and while it probably seemed somewhat realistic at the time, watching it for the first time 12 years later means almost two hours of facepalming.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother funny thing is that of this first trilogy of Johan Falk movies, only the first one holds up today. u0026quot;Noll toleransu0026quot; was a tight, domestic thriller, and while suffering from some genre clichés, it could very nearly have been produced today. The next two, u0026quot;Livvakternau0026quot; and this one, simply come across as sensationalist speculations run amok. Wildly inaccurate numbers and absurd conjecture are painfully present throughout. Yes, financial organized crime was and is of course a large and real international problem, but neither the European governments or society as we know it fell, as this movie would have us believe. If youu0026#39;re just getting into the Johan Falk movies, Iu0026#39;d recommend you watch the first one and then move on to the 2009 installments. This initial trilogy is in many ways a set of relatively well made thrillers, but their wildly distorted look at contemporary events come across as mostly embarrassing today.”
