Boring and not well made.

Well that was a disappointment. I thought the story (based on true events) would be something interesting to watch but the movie just turns out to be more than two hours of boredom. It's just not well made, it could have used a better editing and filming. Too many repetitive scenes, not even well shot, just made this movie boring to watch. The acting isn't anything special at all, just like the whole movie. Maybe it's interesting for somebody from Sweden, even though I doubt that. Did I regret watching this one? Yes, it's a waste of time!
