Sorry, this movie sucks
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
View MoreThere are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreThis series deserves a whole-hearted attempt as it is a slow burner and subtitles can make that an even harder process, but before you know it you are hooked. The acting is top notch and very believable and the plot keeps your interest. If you have watched the american version and actually got through it, then you almost certainly have to appreciate this version. If you have not seen the remake, don't bother. The acting alone is enough to want to turn it off 5 minutes in. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

View MoreThe fictitious character Saga Noren , believe it or not , is a household name in many parts of Europe . The Bridge, an original Swedish-Danish production is a compelling series with no peg. It is original and challenging to any new watcher. Warning- you'll be hooked before you knew it. Saga Noren , the brilliant but socially awkward detective is the keyholder to the lock. Martin, the partner and the other half of the crime solving duo is like a good Catholic priest. The pair complements each other like salt and pepper, one won't work without the other. The plot is politically , sex & blood-laden yet highly complex for anyone to figure out who the killer from hell is. The reveal is only until the very , very end. Anybody who intends to watch this will definitely not forget this show and the name Saga Noren will be added to your vocabulary.
View MoreI'm into the third season of this riveting series. The plot is very complex with more characters than necessary but it draws the viewer into their various background stories, which are woven into each series. Suspenseful it is, and each season brings a new adventure against the dark side of human society; however, we see what is going on with the personal stories that hold our interest. In the first two seasons, we find the Swedish detective Saga working alongside Martin, her Danish counterpart, whose past catches up with him. Saga is challenged by autism, which strains her personal relationships, but Martin tries to help her with tips that she tries awkwardly to follow. Another Danish police detective, Henrik becomes her partner in season three. As with Martin, he too has a lot of personal baggage but he becomes fascinated with Saga. At first, the outlines of their personal histories are alluded to but in time, these become key to the plot. The main plots involve timely stories about refugees, eco-terrorists, and underworld characters who are pursued by Saga, Martin and Henrik along with their Danish and Swedish colleagues. Action swings back and forth over the bridge connecting the two countries. In fact, crimes happen close to the bridge thereby requiring both sides to work together. The setting is dark, grim and joyless but there are genuine human touches from time to time. This series is harsh but we enjoy the twists and turns in the stories and the personal lives of the characters.
