Best movie of this year hands down!
Waste of time
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Based on a good detective story (1963) by writer Kerstin Ekman, sensitively retold by Frykberg and Alfredson, combined with great music by the Flesh Quartet (aka Fläskkvartetten) and brilliant acting performances by several well-known Swedish actors, this is a first-rate movie with genuine provincial atmosphere and scenery of elk-hunting season. You should also be aware that most countryside folks in Sweden tend to distinguish between those who get to participate in the hunt and those who don't, and autumn is divided in two before and after this most important event of the year. You never know when the bell tolls the hour for you, until it happens.
Dödsklockan is an enjoyable thriller for those who understand Swedish. It is actually quite similar to Jägarna, but with less violence (which I think is a good thing) and a more convincing plot. I would like to add to the first review, that in addition to Loa and Keve, Anders Ekborg is also very good in Dödsklockan.
A traffic-accident is the startup for this thriller about blackmail and hunting in a rural community in the 1960s. It's a pleasure to see a number of the best Swedish actors at present together in such an enjoyable thriller. Keve Hjelm and Loa Falkman stands out as the best of the best.
