Watch Johan Falk: From the Ashes into the Fire For Free

A Major Disappointment

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Fun, exciting and original characters, some based on real people. For anyone who have seen the previous Johan Falk movies this is an awesome next step into the franchise which is now (unfortunately) at it's end.The problem I think is when people watch those movies without actually having seen the previous ones, considering all the 20(!) movies in the franchise have connections it should be obvious, in my opinion, that you sort of "have to" watch it from the start to finish. It easily leads to people not liking the movie, because it makes little sense if you're a newcomer. I say go watch it all the way from the first film Noll Tolerans (Zero Tolerance). What makes these movies so good is not just the acting, action scenes or the good laughs you get. It's that they feel so realistic and some of the characters and stories are based on people and events that exist(ed) in the real world. To me, that is a whole new level of excitement!

This was quite the clownboat.I've not seen any previous films from the Johan Falk franchise, but this kind of parted way from the other successful Swedish cop franchise, namely Beck.Here, you'll find more violence. And also a fairly more complex storyline.Having said that, that's all that differs them; the ultra-bad acting is in here, but I must say the characters themselves lack any kind of depth. The Token Female Police is just messy and angry. The Johan Falk character is not only one-dimensional beyond the pale, but extremely simplistic and non-human. The actor, Jakob Eklund, must be a better person than actor; he has to be.It's not the actors' faults, not just; the direction is skint, torpid and fetid; those are difficult words which I just threw out there to make your reading experience more worthwhile than this film, and I know I did it!Avoid. Still, it's fun to laugh _at_.
