The Third Wave (Den Tredje Vaagen)

4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)
At Europol (the European Union's police headquarters) in The Hague, a newly appointed chief, detective superintendent Sellberg of the Swedish police, declares war against organized crime. Sellberg has the power to employ whomever he chooses. However his first choice, his protege Johan Falk, a former specially trained police officer, wants ... nothing to do with it. In his view, Europe is being taken over by organized crime, and the criminal justice system is in denial. All Falk wants is to move out to the countryside and build a secure home to protect his family. But destiny has other plans for him. Meanwhile in London, Rebecca (a young stockbroker) realizes that the love of her life, Phoenix Kane (a financial wizard) is heavily involved in organized crime, and she subsequently leaves him. Fearing exposure, Kane panics and appeals to his associates for help. In turn they scramble to protect their interests, triggering off a series of violent incidents. Simultaneously Rebecca arrives to beg Sellberg and Europol for protection. However, paid assassins have followed her, and Falk's mentor is murdered right before his eyes. Now, a violent hunt begins throughout Europe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, December 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Third Wave (Den Tredje Vaagen) (Amazon Instant Video)
This caught me by surprise. I went in thinking it would be OK, as I try to watch every Swedish movie I come across. It was actually quite good, except for the fact that the German police seem to get massacred en masse, and no one seems to notice (or care).

Try it out if you like suspenseful international action/thrillers, it is WAY better than something like Mission: Impossible (as a comparison)
