Jana - Märkta för livet

This flawed new crime series is so weak that it makes you cringe from the first minutes. Unaware of its supposedly successful source material, the screen adaption is so poor in every aspect from writing to overall execution. Even the title sequence, which is perhaps its most professional aspect, is so cliché and uninventive it makes you wonder who approved of this mess.

Without going into to detail, the screenwriting is so amateurish and on the nose that even a first year film school student could achieve better. And the poor directing and cinematography reminds you of older B-movies where numerous coincidences and illogical stagings makes you cringe at every corner.

I especially feel sad that the talented Pernilla August performance is reduced to a student film. That's no small achievement for the so-called creators.
