Storyline
Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round) plays Markus, a military vet who is called home from war after his wife, Emma, is killed and his daughter is traumatized by a horrible railway accident—or was this “accident” pre-planned? In his grief, Markus meets Otto (Nikolaj Lie Kaas), a witness to the train tragedy and an off-the-rails statistics expert, who becomes convinced that the gang is the real cause of the crash through a complicated series of deliberate events, beginning with the stolen bike. The two later team up with Otto’s wisecracking hacker friends, Lennart (Lars Brygmann) and Emmenthaler (Nicolas Bro), who all prove to be woefully inept at using logic and firepower to avenge Emma’s death. As the scheme proceeds, plans begin to fall apart in increasingly unexpected ways. With a perfect balance of brutal violence, heartfelt tragedy, and oddball humor, Jensen’s film carries viewers on an entertaining journey involving probability, revenge, and the unintended consequences of best-laid plans.
