After posting about the upcoming R1 UNO DVD - see below - I went and did a bit of digging to see if UNO's star/writer/director Aksel Hennie had anything currently on the go. Couldn't turn up an new projects, but I did find the trailer for "Den Som Frykter Ulven", a film he co-starred in immediately prior to UNO.
Now, maybe it's just me but when the first image in a trailer is a young boy running through a field carrying a compound bow it tends to make me think "Something bad is about to happen." Yep. Bad stuff happens. It's unusual to see such unabashedly genre fare out of Scandanavia and it looks to be a good time ... anybody out there seen this and care to comment?
Trailer (downloadable Quicktime, 8 meg).
I'd agree to some of the things that the prior poster has said. All in all, it's not a good nor an entertaining movie.
with a touch, i'd say stay away from most things coming from scanadinava these days, swedish movies all go for the same thing and none of them are that bright. Danish movies hold nothing that other more major movies doesnt hold so why go there?
If you are interested in some info about Aksel Hennie and his projects I can tell you that he did all the voices on the norwegian dub of the danish Terkel i knibe (which I believe has been mentioned on Twitchfilm before). I also know that he works on theater now so it could be a little while before he enters the screen again. Here is some info on a film which you may not know about (sadly no trailer - the film is maybe to old): Jonny Vang (2003) It is OK, and quite funny. The soundtrack is mostly from the excellent Calexico and that makes the film worthwhile.
It's OK. Hennie has a small part. The movie is kind of predictable as a thriller, but still has a lot of qualities. Not a masterpiece, but far from bad. It has some really great moments.
