Storm (2005)
Surprised in a good way.

I just came home from the the first screening of this movie at the Stockholm Film Festival and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I normally despise new Swedish movies, but since the directors of this movie had claimed they wanted to try something rather different from what we are used to I decided to give it a shot. What is there to say, this is the best Swedish film I have seen (recent made movies that is). The acting is great, but the film at some times get almost amusing when the actors start spitting one-liners that doesn't fit the Swedish language. The story isn't the most original ever but it is performed well, except for the comic book cut scenes which I found very disturbing. The camera-work is superb and the directors has probably looked at films like Seven, Fight Club, Memento and perhaps even Britney Spears video for her song Toxic ^__^. So please, show the movie makers in Sweden that we as an audience is ready for something else than relation based nature romantic dramas with bad acting. Go see it!
