brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

"Hamilton: Men inte om det gäller din dotter" tells the story of a Swedish agent whose goddaughter gets kidnapped by islamic terrorists and who has to fight several forces nearly alone in order to save her from the threat.First of all, the movie looks very clean. You can see that it had some budget and that the money was used very professionally in order to make it look like a blockbuster. I also like how different agencies are involved and not always in a positive way. The intrigues and politics the film depicts are clearly its strong parts in my opinion, however implausible they might be. What I really don't like is the character itself. You should think that the times for incredibly tough guys who can fight whole armies with a spoon and show no emotions are over by now and they really should be. This character is just ridiculous. If you don't even blink an eye when your goddaughter is kidnapped that's not as much a sign of a tough man than it is a sign of an antisocial disorder.All in all this is macho entertainment that convinces with a clever background story but delivers horrible character development. With a little more love for the people depicted, this could have been a far better movie.

But still a good movie nevertheless. It's just that the first movie set a higher standard and of course the sequel was going to be compared to that. Which also means, that the third movie (due in 2014 if all goes along nicely), will have a lesser burden to carry. Having said that, there is no need to watch the first movie to understand this one. Though if you're thinking about missing out on one of the movies, it'd be wise to watch the other one instead.Hamilton reprises his role (not alone, there is other characters that are familiar from the first movie, without connecting them too much) and he does a good job. There's conspiracy, thrill and action in this movie and you will be entertained.

Of course, Hamilton is no genuine Swedish spy/detective anymore, he has become a fighter in an international battlefield where terrorism, spread of values and use of natural resources are often related or intertwined, and where a small(er) country has a role of younger brother... Real decisions and actions are taken somewhere high and far away. Nevertheless, the pace is still there, actors are good and chasing/ambush scenes are catchy to follow. Well, some topics and understandings may be simplified and too black-and-fight, but - on the other hand - one cannot ponder so much on right-and-wrong in a film shorter than 1,5 hours. The ending appears too suddenly and is rather trivial, I would have expected some twist or unexpected nuance.But still, Hamilton: Men inte om det gäller din dotter is neither disappointment nor boring, and it is definitely no US admiring film.

compare to the first one, this one really sucks big time. the director and the screenplay writer should be taken out into the backyard and executed without mercy as they probably ruined a potential franchise marketing the favored son of Sweden: hamilton. what a lousy screenplay that got so many clichés that hurt the viewers simply by kept watching it just tried to have some faith built from the first "hamilton: national security". the assassination, the easy killings by the assassin(s), the stupid and ridiculous Muslim dogma, the infiltration to the castle, the chain-smoking father, the sas or the navy seal related background...so and so, nothing but joke after joke. the godfather and the goddaughter scenario and the kidnap, on and on, nothing but limp, stupid, laughable scenarios again and again causing viewers like us 3rd degree burns all over. actor who play hamilton in this film also seemed to lose most of his interest and energy to perform a likable character, he just did a half-hearted dream walk through the whole nine yard crappy plots, delivered a dead-beat acting and would have felt ashamed to do this role again. do not waste your time to watch this.
