The idea for this film is good, but Tommy Wirkola, whose movies I liked in the past, especially Dead Snow and Hansel and Gretel, really messed this one up. There are a couple of scenes that actually work, but the dialogue is far too wooden. The ending's predictable, even the twist with Monday.
There are so many flaws in this movie. It's full of missed opportunities too make it better and it's far too long, due to misguided dialogue and ultimately, a more than dull story line development. The real problem here is the script. The performances by the Scandinavian actors in supporting roles are also not the cream of the crop.
I like Rapace, Defoe and Close, but they obviously didn't have enough to work with here. I don't know the actual budget for this movie, but I imagine it wasn't cheap, since Netflix is a billion dollar company. Wirkola's visualization and the work done by the storyboards people leave an insane amount of room for improvement. Mediocre at best. 4.5/10
