Uro
Bande annonce vost publié par CineMovies.fr - Les sorties ciné en vidéo
Another film about a man who doesn't want to choose side in life and by doing so, betrays both sides in a conflict, finally deciding to 'sacrifice' himself and the truth for someone who doesn't care about him=A classic 'loser'.
We meet Hans Petter/HP (Nicolai Cleve Broch) a man who's left his 'old life' as a criminal and instead joined the police forces.
In doing so his past still haunt him and when working as undercover among drug dealers, he risks his own life and his colleagues because of to much risk taking.
His 'bear-leader' or mentor tries to guide him along but it's not easy and within the police force there is also an 'esprit de corps' that HP doesn't want to go along with.
HP is also reminded of his old loyalties, plunging deeper and deeper into the swamp of lies, conflicts, not taking sides when needed, heading for the imminent catastrophy.
The encounter with a woman with drug problems whose father is seated in the top of the pyramid but on the same time demanding her to live a decent life, also perturb our anti hero.
As many other Norwegian films, the acting is very good and the realism of the events is striking.
What bugs us is the main character himself and his cowardly behaviour.
Those he should oppose, he sides with and those who tries to help him, he let down and this makes HP - as stated above - into the very essence of a person who, afraid of conflicts and afraid of taking sides, betrays everyone, including himself.
Apart from this distasteful individual, the film is actually worth seeing, not least - as Aurore would point out - because we see Bjørn Floberg in one of the principal roles.
Director: Stefan Faldbakken.
We recommend the film.
