Bitter and disillusioned former cop Frank (an intense and excellent performance by Kim Sonderholm, who also wrote and directed) becomes a hit-man for the mob after losing his family in a tragedy. Sonderholm relates the bleakly engrossing story at a quick pace, maintains a tough, gritty, and downbeat tone throughout, offers a vivid evocation of the seamy criminal underworld, and delivers the savagely satisfying goods in the lively and exciting last third.
I bought this movie immediately as it appeared on DVD. Since very few Danish cinema is translated (or subtitled) I felt my $14 would be a good investment.
One of the films that impressed me the most this year is TOUR DE FORCE in which Kim Sonderholm performs the dual tasks of director and lead actor. Kim, from Denmark, is fast establishing a highly regarded reputation and earning respect in both these areas of film making.
Several months ago the trailer for feature film "Tour de Force" was released. After seeing the trailer I could not wait for the day the film would actually be released.
