The plot is so predictable that it's laughable. Evil == Americans (even private entrepreneurs - yuck) do the evil they always do. Fortunately a Swedish heartbroken intelligence officer helped from the good people of the PLO ensures that the over-all-places-ongoing American plotting against good organizations like the al-Shabab is hindered. Good - because the nice people in PLO would never want to come on the terror-lists from the only ever real terror-regime in the world: the United States.
Sorry for being too tough on this movie, since I personally think, that the best movies are made in Sweden. But that fella - Gillou - whose book the script is based on, is the star among authors who hate the free world, and must feel very sorry that his good friends in the former soviet KGB are not with us anymore - in the shape he knew the organization.
Only reason it deserves 4 stars is, that Mikael Persbrandt is in. Totally overlooked mega-star. Without him - no stars. Looking forward to see him in the Hobbit.
