I was baffled by this Swedish film. Mads Mikkelsen's character is hard to fathom. And he's not very likeable. So when things start to go awry in his life the story has to carry you along; because Thomas isn't someone you find yourself rooting for.
And it does carry you, for a while.
But even though this is only a shortish film (100 mins) it lost me before the end. I really didn't care who had done what to who, for how much money, and who was going to win.
Of course I thought Thomas would probably win; but also that there might be a twist. Unfortunately the story just isn't compelling enough to make you care about the ending.
Rich people screwing each other over for a few million here and there, when they have billions, is just depressing... not entertaining or interesting.
