Review of Den utvalde

Den utvalde (2005)
6/10
Good crime mystery with an interesting plot
1 May 2015
After some accidents the police find a recurring mark which makes the police understand that these are not accidents, but rather accidents staged as murders. The investigation unit decided to recruit a young and intelligent police student to help with the case. The young recruit proves to be a very valuable asset in an investigation to solve the case.

This is the second feature film by the director Eric Donell, also is the writer of the film script. Martin Söder ha co-directed the film together with him. I find the plot interesting, and that the film has good pace. The Swedish tradition for crime movies are well known, and I think this follows in that good tradition. It seems like this film has been bashed by viewers, which most probably will be mostly Swedish. I think this is rather unfair. The film is both interesting and has a good drive.

The weakness is the believability of the student scenes. The acting here isn't always top notch. The police investigation scenes are way better. Main role player Andreas Wilson does a wonderful job as the young student. He is very believable and nerdy. I was nicely entertained!
