"Please write movie script. It has to have to following present: -grieving protagonist who's trying to solve a case, so there's both inner and outer conflict -a killer who films his acts, Make him a hacker also, to confuse the police. -some tech talk thrown in to add credibility -a sidekick (Roland Moller) who's there just to ask questions on behalf of the audience, so no one gets confused"

Voila... and there you have it. A script without any soul. And actors completely wasted. I have never seen Roland Moller - who's usually good at playing at villain - deliver such an uninspiring performance.

The actors perform their roles perfectly, but they have nothing to perform: all the characters are devoid of character and represent ordinary people, the director does not reveal them. There is no conflict, the heroine's family problems are almost invisible. The film is a small work without any special plot twists, which does not arouse interest.

There is nothing in the picture except the presence of a maniac and well-shot scenes. Hallucinations of the main character are rare and do not carry an explicit meaning.

The film does not evoke an emotional response from the viewer, except, perhaps, the desire to finish watching it.

There are authors who, being ignorant, create films that evoke various emotions in the audience, but this film does not make any emotional impression - it's a waste of time! I don't remember a single movie that didn't have real feelings!

I couldn't watch this movie to the end.

WOW what a bad movie! We had only seen a few minutes, when the acting (or lack of) began to stand out like a sour thumb.

Apparently the lead character (Julie Ølgaard) act, direct , produce and write this film. I think she most definitely should have given some of those tasks to other, more competent people.

The acting is beyond poor, even with a cast where i KNOW that several of the actors are seasoned, and normally good actors, that fail miserably in this story.

All the plotpoints are clichees, that we have seen in countless other (and quite better films).

There are no suspense and as a viewer you dont relate to any of the characters. I would higly recommend you skip this film as i frankly think it is a waste of time.

Great cast and acting... I really liked the movie. Some great surprising scenes. I just wished, that the movie was longer. It was rather short time for exploring the plots, character development and story. Som3how shortened a little too much. Again, It was good as a movie, but I think it could have been GREAT as a series(Really Great), as there was so many unexplored opportunities. So if the director and producer reads this, then please make a series out of it. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the movie. It can be recommended to watch it, if you like serial killer stories/movies/series. Would have given a better score, than 7, if the movie was longer.

No pun intended - the movie starts off quite strong .. and shows from the start this is not for the faint of heart! So if you are sensitive, if you are not able to stomach, not just violence shown with blood, but with ferocity ... maybe this movie is not for you. There is a lot going on and I reckon it does show the depths a "misguided" human can fall into.

And yes I know I am being nice with my description. And I am not the parent of the individual - how would I react if I were? Well I know I would try everything to help the victims, because however much you may say blood is thicker than water ... we are all humans. We all are someones son or daughter. Why do I say this and make a point of it? Well you will understand if you watch the movie.

Unfortunately the police seem to have missed that point. You would have assumed that if someone knows of the existence of a killer, you would not let them ... well you would at least have them under surveillance ... the very least. So suspend your disbelief ... and don't be shocked ... actually you very likely will be shocked! No prisoners taken ...

Keep in mind, I am in no way a professional film critic. The other reviews mention bad acting but I don't think the acting is bad, the ending has the best acting in my opinion. The script/dialogue is a bit boring, but I guess it's realistic. The ending is confusing and unrealistic and a bit anticlimactic, and left me feeling cheated. I don't think it could have happened in real life in any way, and the aftermath of the scene is not mentioned or shown. The overall storyline and plot is nothing special. Visually and lighting wise it is a beautiful film. Overall I did enjoy it but I will not be rewatching it.

Find this movie refreshingly thoughtful, not the Hollywood mega action superhero shlock, very good detective mystery. It is realistic for a difficult subject. There is some gruesome scenes I skipped over, but certainly does not let the viewer remain detached from the messy subject. I believe the repressed feeling of the main characters is a realistic response to their tangled lives and the emotional strain involved in trying to remain functional human beings. I believe that the flat affect of the actors are intentional in the script and direction, and completely appropriate. This is not an action movie where I would expect over the top hyper emotions. This is one about inner conflicts and emotional and moral ambiguity and how one can deal with reality, that the world is not a place of the 100% righteous and 100% evil, but that we have them both within ourselves and need to deal in life with situations that are not clear cut good and bad, but a combination of both.

I love the.

This is bad. This is really bad.

This movie wants so much and achives so very, very little.

This is two hours I Will never get back... The movie contains so many cliches and a very thin storyline.

So many mistakes and stereotypes in one movie is unbelieveble.

The movie reminds me of a teen-b-film-movie-project-gone-wrong. And it is written by a ameteur-gamer and did not Seem like a 2023- movie at all.

The things that happens in this story is Way unrealistic and would never appear in real police og FBI investigation.

Do not waste your life on this horrible and bad movie.

Just don't..... ..

Terrible, unrealistic story. So full of IT mistakes, and seems to desperately cram every possible tech word into the scenes.

We ended up laughing in some of the scenes due to this. I'm sure that's not the intention of the film makers.

Unprofessional police behaviour. Basic police investigation skipped.

It is clear for everyone the main character has issues, and should not come back to work. Yet, her colleague and boss both accept her zoning out and also break the law with hacking into systems illegally.

Very disappointing, where Danish thrillers normally is very smart and clever - this just fails on every level.

This movie is beautifully filmed with good locations, great lighting, well chosen locations, and more. Many of the actors play quite well, but the script leaves a lot to be desired.

The characters have depth, and that great, but the script is extremely depressive and there is zero humor to balance it out. I do not mind dark moods in a movie, but the themes in this movie are like a bottomless pit of sadness.

Overall, I would have rated this 6/10, but the film is extremely violent almost as if the writer is more interested in shocking the audience than to deliver a good story. And near the end, the script falls apart, the story looses realism and everything just stops making sense.

Quite ok until about 10-15 from the end where the writer must have suffered from loss of thinking capacity! Now that I think about it there were signs already from the start that showed that there was a severe lack of logic and knowledge about police work in general. Also, it was unnecessarily brutal and to some extent repetitive in this respect. Further, the definition of an angel maker is totally different from how this film is presenting the meaning of that expression, I.e., it is a misleading title. The characters were typical stereotypes comprising a computer geek and a mentally unstable police!

We're used to many good movies from Denmark, but if you believe all Danish movies are good, i can assure you and comfort you; they ren't!

There just as many stupid and awful Danish movies as in other countries, we just don't very often get to see them.

But now we have got such streaming offers like Netflix and Amazon Prime, so every little nasty and horrendous movie gets big distribution.

This movie has an OK script until you realize it's over the top stupid. The last part of the movie goes fast downhill. And you are left thinking WTF!?

You won't miss anything avoiding this, maybe just an annoyingly bad movie and - you'll also lose the faith that all Danish movies are good. Well, you were wrog.

I rarely see a Danish movies these days, but then I get persuaded as this one was trending on Netflix. 20 minutes in I hate the script, I hate the actors, I hate the plot. I'm so disappointed that this garbage gets through editing, reviews and post without anybody saying 'stop'.

There is not a single moment in the story where you feel the characters are real humans, having real emotions. There's not a single moment in the story where you feel this is something that could have happened in the real world, anywhere in the world for that matter.

My unasked for recommendation for the director/writer would be to spend more time on getting details about how people interact, relationships and emotions, how police work, how computers work, how dialogue works, how acting for that sake works, and less on how to show explicit strangulation scenes and bondage fetish - which adds nothing to the drama, but only seems like either a fetish or a pathetic attempt to be shocking.

Not the kind of who-done-it-suspense crime-thriller we danes are used to. The investigation seems almost to easy at times, and the script is very simple. Englemageren (angelmaker) is an old word for babykiller, and the motive of the serialkiller is very clear. If a woman has had an abortion, she is an angelmaker and therefore she must die. I don't know if the writers are supporting the anti-abortion movement or if it just was a simple premise to write the movie from. In the end becomes clear that the writers wanted to create a memorable ending, and they did, but it was not in my taste. All in all not a great movie, but if you like clichees, there are a lot of them in this movie, except for the unfortunate surprise at the end.
