Plot: After an interesting first quarter the film gets bogged down in a relational triangle before picking up for the final scenes.The story is more drama than thriller and most of the time the police are invisible as two sisters vie for the attentions of a former playboy who is married to one of them. It's the see-sawing between of emotions that becomes tiresome. Nevertheless the ending is quite a surprise although the original murderer was quite obvious from an early stage.Interesting location photography especially in the opening scenes as a car drives through Copenhagen with bicycles everywhere ignoring other traffic.
