This is an enjoyable, well-made thriller, even if it treads familiar ground. Two police officers — one principled, one far more questionable — find themselves trapped in a neighbourhood erupting into chaos after a death in police custody sparks violent unrest driven by racial tensions. As they fight to survive and make it to safety, the pressure steadily mounts, not only from the rioting streets around them but from the growing mistrust between the two men themselves. The escalating tension is easily the film’s biggest strength. While the setup isn’t particularly original, the film still manages to surprise. I genuinely didn’t see the ending coming, and it left a strong impression. This Danish thriller is well worth your time if you enjoy gritty, pressure-cooker films like Training Day (2001) or Athena (2022).
