6/10
A solid entry in the genre
12 May 2023
"Kvinden i buret" is a Danish thriller film based on the novel of the same name by Jussi Adler-Olsen. As I watched the movie, I found it to be a nice piece, although it was a little too far out for my taste. It's a quiet thriller with dark scenes and reserved characters, and I would say it's a slightly above-average Krimi. I'd give it 6 out of 10 stars.

The film follows the story of Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas), a vice detective who has been assigned to lead the newly established Department Q for cold cases. Together with his partner Assad (Fares Fares), Carl sets out to investigate the disappearance of Merete Lynggaard (Sonja Richter), a Danish politician who vanished without a trace five years ago. As they delve deeper into the case, they begin to uncover a strange and tragic history.

I found the acting in the film to be solid but not remarkable. Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Fares Fares give convincing performances as the odd couple of detectives, and Sonja Richter is compelling as the missing politician. The direction by Mikkel Nørgaard is well done, and the pace of the film is maintained throughout.

In conclusion, "Kvinden i buret" is a well-made movie with an intriguing plot and a good cast of actors. However, some may find it too slow-paced or lacking in excitement. Nonetheless, it's worth watching for fans of the genre.
