A Fast-Paced Swedish Thriller, June 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Man From Mallorca [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In Stockholm, on St. Lucy's feast day, a bandit daringly robs a crowded post office. Within a fortnight, two witnesses are dead. Two cops from vice squad, Johansson and Jarnebring, who were the first to the crime scene, pursue all leads and identify a suspect, an arrogant member of the elite secret police, a man assigned to guard the Minister of Justice. Just when the beat cops think they've tightened the noose around the suspect, loose ends begin to appear, witnesses lose their certainty, alibis crop up, and even the cops doubt what they've seen. Who is hiding the suspect and why? This is a fast-paced modern thriller, in stark contrast to the darker, more deliberate Widerberg work The Man on The Roof (1976). Viewers are treated to high-speed chases and panoramas of Stockholm, great cinematography and plot twists.
