An American formula thriller made in Denmark that leaves a bitter aftertaste. Anybody turning to this film to get away from Hollywood films will be disappointed. The film about two different brothers, one a lawyer and the other a truck driver come to confront each other when one accidentally kills somebody and tries to put the blame on his brother's immigrant worker. The pretentious film full of cliches is clearly influenced by Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs." Writer and director Ole Bornedal who made the original "Nightwatch" and its mediocre Hollywood remake doesn't shows any improvement. YRCinema's coverage of the Toronto International Film Festival.Saturday, September 12, 2009
