I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A Disappointing Continuation

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This has some good moments, but falls apart badly in the closing third.The ending sequence is particularly implausible. Firstly his wife seems ready to take him back, despite the way he has treated her. The worst is yet to come however: Vietnamese? gangsters track him down (how?) and shoot him in the street (why would they believe him to be the real Sebastian?). Then incredibly the suitcase he just happens to be carrying at that exact moment falls open on the ground. Yet more incredible is that diamonds tumble out of the suitcase. How did the protagonist miss the apparently unhidden diamonds? Wasn't he searching through the suitcase for clues? Why would Sebastian (when in Hanoi) believe that death was his only option if still had a bunch of diamonds up his sleeve? This is by far the worst chunk of narrative in the film. However I felt that the final third was very weak. There was a lot that could have been explored that was not. Good ideas went to waste. For example - what of the child that was conceived in the hospital? Why did the passion that apparently consumed the protagonist dissipate so suddenly?

Wow for someone who can't usually care about foreign films this is a fantastic film. It starts out slow and I mean slow just with some average Joe named Jonas who just seems so depressed cause his life is boring. First of all boo hoo oh I have a wife and kids and a steady job I wish I had excitement. But then he meets this girl that he just met and he loses his mind over her. Now I can't buy that mostly cause she is just so mangled up that why would you love that but he does. Oh don't you worry once that boring crap is done with this movie gets good down right amazing. With out spoiling a moment lets just say he gets in deep with everything and the end is just unseen. The actors are great I couldn't find a flaw with any of them. This movie does just flow great, Director Bornedal did a great job directing this film. The only flaw is the beginning just because it is so slow and unless you force yourself to watch it you will lose interest fast. Overall check it out if you like good little rentals see this film.

I am speechless. This movie is beyond good. It is the epitome of everything that I like about film - a movie that rivals American Beauty, Eternal Sunshine, and Mulholland Drive for artistic masterpiece of the last 10 years. It is a CRIME that this movie is only playing in one theater in New York City. I cannot remember the last time I was this entranced by a film, and in a way I feel lucky that I had the honor of being one of six people in a small theater in the Village watching this. Beautiful, dark, enigmatic, mysterious, erotic, intense, tragic, Symmetric. Perfection.

I will not even pretend to be anything but incredibly disappointed by this film. While it enjoyed several good reviews in the Danish newspapers, my expectations were above average. However, nothing, and I mean nothing could have prepared me for the spectacle that was to follow.I will not even dwell into the plot, which can at best be described as messy and incoherent. The acting was ample, despite more that a few moments of imbalance between the characters reactions and their feeling for a scene.The real culprit of this disaster of a movie, is director Ole Bornedal, who has managed to bring all the worst of Danish movie making into life. Everything from the pointless overuse of the macabre to the exploitation of human emotions in an almost pornographic way leaving the viewer with a sense of a reality, which fetisches the dark side of life in a very disturbing way.I for one managed to be as frustrated and angry as I have ever been while watching a movie. An absolutely atrocious piece of work, that tends to appeal to the emotionally unstable. I would advice that no one watches it, but should the urge to torture your self so overwhelm you that you feel that you cannot resist, then at least come back to this forum and share your thoughts on it.Horrible picture. (period!).two starts out of ten (merely since it most of the action takes place in the adjacent building to mine).Best viewings to all, Gus J.
